Hi, I’m Tim Hwang

My Approach

You may know what matters to you and still struggle to turn that intention into action. We look closely at the task, the environment, and what is happening for you. Together, we develop supports that make daily life more manageable, with room for rest, flexibility, and self-compassion.

For me, neurodiversity-affirming support means listening to your experience, respecting your autonomy, and adapting our work around your goals. Your preferences around communication, pacing, and participation matter.

Experience In Everyday Settings

Since 2016, I have worked as an occupational therapist in New York City public schools, supporting students with developmental and learning needs. This work has shaped my understanding of attention, routines, sensory needs, and the importance of making strategies usable in real situations.

Meditation And Community

I bring more than 15 years of meditation practice, retreat experience, and teacher training to my work. I am authorized to teach in the Pragmatic Dharma lineage by Vince Horn and Emily Horn, and have studied with Kenneth Folk. My ongoing practice also draws on Taiwanese Buddhism, particularly Chan.

I serve on the board of New York Insight Meditation Center and co-coordinate its Asian Diaspora Sangha. As a Taiwanese American, I care deeply about cultural belonging and access to contemplative practice. People of all backgrounds are welcome.
