Therapy Approach

Ms. Yang’s training began with Person-Centered Therapy where active listening and unconditional positive regard are central to build a strong therapeutic relationship. She seeks to create an empathetic and non-judgmental environment where the client can feel safe to be their true selves. She will collaborate with the client through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the obstacles in their life and develop a goal-oriented treatment plan. With the addition of Motivational Interviewing, she will guide the client to feel empowered and live the life they deserve to live. She is continuously training to utilize various modes of evidence-based therapies including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.  Ms. Yang feels comfortable working with a wide variety of populations.

As a student therapist, she provided psychotherapy to young adults and older adults of various cultural backgrounds (gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, education level and socioeconomic status). Ms. Yang seeks to become a culturally competent psychotherapist who honors and celebrates cultural differences in every client. She will always choose what’s in the best interest of the client to help them feel more present and healed.
