About Me
Hello! I’m Wenling Riehle (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and Illinois, a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Master Counselor (CASAC-MC), a certified school social worker, and a yoga instructor with over 20 years of personal mindfulness and movement practice.
I offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where your unique story, background, and strengths are honored. My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and deep listening to support healing and personal growth.
Outside of therapy, I find joy in nature hikes, yoga, and traveling—experiences that continue to shape my own path of curiosity, balance, and connection.
Therapy for International Students, Immigrants, and Expats
I specialize in working with international clients and those from diverse cultural backgrounds, including immigrants, first-generation Americans, and expats. I am passionate about supporting individuals through the unique challenges of cultural adjustment, language differences, and identity exploration.
My approach to therapy is inclusive, compassionate, and grounded in a deep respect for each person’s story, language, and lived experience.
Common Issues I Help With
My clients often seek therapy for support with:
Anxiety, trauma, and stress-related issues
Cultural adjustment, identity exploration, and language barriers
Academic or professional pressure, homesickness, and social isolation
Family dynamics and intergenerational relationships
Parenting support and guidance for individuals and children with different abilities
A Multilingual, Holistic Approach
As a trilingual therapist fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, and English, I offer a therapeutic space that is linguistically accessible and culturally affirming. I draw on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and a strength-based perspective to help clients reconnect with their inner resilience and wisdom.
My work is informed by both clinical training and over two decades of yoga and meditation practice, creating a holistic path to healing and personal growth.
