My Philosophy
Han conceptualizes cases with both DSM-V and PDM-2. She locates each individual based on their socio-political background and identity in a humble and accepting manner. Han has an interest in topics including but not limited to: intersectionality, trans-inclusive feminism, comprehensive psychological assessment (neuropsych testing & projective tests), LGBTQIAP+ issues, health disparities, trauma, and sociocultural resilience factors. Han is bilingual in Chinese and was born and raised in South China. She graduated from a historically women's college (now trans & nonbinary inclusive), Bryn Mawr College, with a B.A. in Psychology, and Teachers College, Columbia University, with an M.A. in Developmental Psychology.
