About Us
Empowering You to Rise Above
Rising to the Occasion
I'm Dr. Fanny Ng, a native New Yorker born and raised in this vibrant city. My personal journey, shaped by my background as a daughter of immigrants and my identity as an Asian American woman and woman of color, profoundly influences my work. Growing up, I saw the immense emotional resilience it takes to navigate the demands of a city like ours, but I also noticed a disconnect—a lack of open conversation about mental health within my own community and among people who looked like me.
In college, I learned that even within the field of psychology, there was a significant dearth of knowledge about minority identities and their unique challenges. I founded Rise Psychology NYC to challenge the mental health stigma that is so prevalent, particularly for minorities and immigrants, whose emotional pain is often dismissed or overlooked. It is my firm belief that everyone deserves a space to heal where their experiences are not just seen, but truly understood.

Our Guiding Philosophy
At Rise Psychology, our mission is to provide warm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive psychotherapy. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and empowering space for both our clients and our team. Our therapeutic work is grounded in an integrative approach, which means we draw from multiple evidence-based therapies to personalize your care. We rely on proven methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), all delivered through a trauma-informed lens. We are committed to a multicultural feminist perspective, ensuring that our work honors and respects every aspect of your identity.
Our Services and Specialty Populations
We provide individual psychotherapy designed to help you navigate life's toughest challenges and find a path toward healing and growth. Our areas of specialty are driven by the needs of our community, and we are dedicated to supporting a wide range of individuals and their unique stories.
-
Anxiety and Depression: We offer a safe space to explore and manage feelings of anxiety and persistent sadness. We help you develop coping skills to reclaim your life.
-
Trauma and Grief: Whether you're coping with past trauma or working through the pain of loss, we provide compassionate support to help you process your experiences and move forward with resilience.
-
Medical & Caregiving Populations: My personal passion is helping individuals and caregivers coping with chronic pain, cancer, sleep issues, disability, and burnout. We understand the emotional toll that chronic illness can take and are here to help you navigate your medical journey.
-
BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ Communities: We are committed to providing an affirming and knowledgeable space for individuals from marginalized communities. We understand the unique challenges you face and provide a safe space to explore your identity and experiences.
All of our services are offered with your convenience in mind, whether you prefer in-person therapy in our comfortable Manhattan or Brooklyn offices or virtual therapy from anywhere across New York State.
A Commitment to Accessibility and Training
We believe that high-quality mental health care should be accessible to all. This core value is why we've built a unique training program that allows us to offer low-fee, private pay therapy that is a fraction of the market rate for private practice mental health services. Our team consists of highly motivated and skilled interns who are directly supervised by me, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of clinical experience.
When you work with a therapist at Rise, you benefit from the expertise of a seasoned clinician guiding your care while also receiving the full attention of an attentive and dedicated professional. We have the flexibility to accommodate your schedule and can negotiate fees to ensure that the care you receive is both sustainable and accessible. We take great pride in making sure that you receive truly excellent care.
