      <image:title>About - About me</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dr. Cheng received her B.A. from Smith College and her doctorate in clinical psychology from St. John's University, where she specialized in child and adolescent psychotherapy. Her doctoral dissertation was about the influence of acculturation on the self-concept of first-generation Chinese-American adolescents, which foreshadowed her passion for acculturation issues throughout her clinical career. Dr. Cheng completed her clinical training at Queens Children’s Psychiatric Center, Nassau University Medical Center, and St. Mary’s Children and Family Services (now MercyFirst).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Children 6-12yo</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the structured component of our work, I help children learn coping, mindfulness, prosocial, and self-affirmation skills using goal-oriented games, creative arts, as well as fun physical activities to engage them in the process. We practice skills in session, and I encourage parents to help their children practice these skills regularly at home between sessions.  To compliment this skills training, I use open-ended play therapy techniques to further help children communicate in a safe way, and to explore and develop insight into possible sources that may underlie their distress.</image:caption>
