Shihui Tricia Wang
About
My name is Dr. Tricia Shihui Wang (they/them), a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and Pennsylvania, and I work with individuals who feel out of sync with the world around them. I know how exhausting it is to navigate environments that were not built for you. My approach is grounded in my own lived experiences as a clinician navigating minority identities. I strive to foster a non-judgmental space where you can feel at home and well-understood. We will use the assessment process to translate your internal experience into a coherent narrative that honors your history and identity.
My motivation for providing neurodivergent assessments stems from my belief in the profound capacity of relationships to heal, transform, and support meaningful growth. Too often, testing feels like a rigid process where an expert delivers a verdict. I prefer to work alongside you to investigate the "how" and "why" of your experiences. My goal is to help you make sense of your psychological landscape and validate the reality you live every day. We uncover the reasons behind your struggles and highlight the strengths you might overlook. This process provides a deep, individualized understanding of who you are. This clarity empowers you to make meaningful changes in your career, your relationships, and your self-understanding.
You are the expert of your experiences and assessment is one way to understand them meaningfully. We look beyond simple symptom checklists to understand the context of your life. We investigate how your processing style interacts with your history, your culture, and your environment. You can think of this like checking your "character stats" in a game to understand your specific build. We identify your natural attributes - such as processing speed, sensory needs, and cognitive patterns - so we can understand where you thrive. This holistic approach ensures we see your whole person. The result is a roadmap that helps you design a life that accommodates your needs rather than fighting against them.
