About

Greetings and welcome! My name is Irene Ngai (last name pronounced “Nye”). I currently live in the New York Metropolitan area and am licensed to practice in New York. Honoring and nurturing human diversity are core values for me. Through the assessment process, I hope to have the opportunity to join you in exploring the multiple facets of you while also creating an experience and product that holds long-term value for you.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Clinical Psychology from Georgia State University; Bachelors in Psychology from Bryn Mawr College.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

For more than 20 years, I have sustained an interest in working together with individuals that identify as neurodiverse and/or with autism. Through these experiences, I have witnessed the myriad ways that neurodivergence can fuel remarkable adaption and expansive worldviews. I believe that assessment and/or therapy may help highlight your personally honed strengths, thoughtfully identify potential areas for growth, and empower you to be authentically you.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach to assessment is to engage in a collaboration investigation with you. I strive to systematically gather information while also providing a non-judgmental, validating, and illuminating experience. In working together, I also recognize that I may have professional knowledge to share, but you are the expert on you. Ultimately, my aim is for you to emerge from the assessment process feeling inspired, confident, and energized in pursuit of your goals.
