ABOUT

Wen-Yu Cheng

I am a licensed psychologist, certified Hakomi therapist and teacher, IAAP-certified Jungian analyst, and neuropsychologist. I offer psychotherapy, neurorehabilitation, and neuropsychological evaluations in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese. I am licensed in Washington State and Taiwan, and through PSYPACT I provide telepsychology to clients in participating U.S. states. I trained at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York and Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, and was an international scholar and fellow at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco.

The Hakomi Method is at the heart of how I work. Through mindfulness and gentle, present-moment attention to the body, we notice the beliefs and patterns we carry, often formed long ago, and give them room to change. With individuals, couples, and groups, I use Hakomi to work with relationship challenges, life transitions, cultural and racial identity, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Many of the people I see work in demanding fields, including software engineering, where success can come at a personal cost.

I often weave Hakomi together with Jungian analysis, including dream work and active imagination, so that what the body holds and what the psyche imagines can inform each other. My background in neuropsychology adds a third lens: how the brain shapes mood, memory, and thinking. I work with people living with brain injury, chronic illness, and Alzheimer’s disease, and with the families who care for them. Mind, body, and brain each have a place in our work.

Working with me is collaborative and unhurried. I pay close attention to what is happening in the moment, between us and within you, and I trust your own pace and inner wisdom.

I serve on the board of the Hakomi Institute and teach Hakomi in China. I also lead mindfulness meditation for people with spinal cord injuries at Mount Sinai’s Transitions Support Group, offering a space for healing during difficult life changes.
