Xinyi (Stacy) Wang, PhD

Xinyi Wang, who goes by Stacy, is a pain psychologist who works with individuals experiencing chronic pain syndromes, neuroplastic pain (when the brain incorrectly interprets pain signals), fibromyalgia, somatic symptom disorder (significant distress about physical symptoms), trauma-related pain and pain accompanied by anxiety or depression.

Wang's care is grounded in mind-body strategies (which draw on physical and mental interactions to support healing) and trauma-informed methods to promote recovery from chronic pain. Depending on a patient's needs, her approach may include Internal Family Systems therapy, sensorimotor therapy, pain reprocessing therapy, attachment-based eye movement and desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), clinical hypnosis or trauma-informed yoga.

Following a predoctoral internship in health service psychology at Stanford University, Wang earned her doctorate in counseling psychology at Fordham University. She completed a fellowship in pain psychology at San Mateo Medical Center.

With roots in Shanghai and Hong Kong, Wang is fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese.
