This page lists Asian Counsellors in New York. 4 in all.
That is 4 of the 22 counsellors listed in New York.
These are practitioners who identify as Asian on their profile. It is their own answer. We do not check it.

You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in. Ask a practitioner which language they are comfortable working in.
What a counsellor does, and how counselling differs from psychotherapy
Everyone on this page describes their work as counselling. A counsellor listens and helps you find your own solutions to problems.
The training emphasises the conversation itself. Sessions usually stay close to something happening now: a loss, a relationship, work, a decision. That focus is what most often separates counselling from longer psychotherapy.
A counsellor is not a medical doctor and does not prescribe or diagnose. Ask a counsellor what they work with, and for how long.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Asian identity and the professional title counsellor.
The New York page answers more questions about therapy there.
