“This was my first appointment. I met with an LSW in the practice. She clearly set expectations and was a fantastic listener. I was hesitant to meet with an LSW after a poor past experience, but after today's assessment session with Ivy, I feel good about the next steps. ”

Getting to know Dr. Hannah Yang
Welcome to Balanced Awakening - a boutique psychotherapy practice dedicated to women’s mental and emotional wellness across the lifespan. We provide trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy to help women navigate anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and major life transitions. New Zocdoc patients are currently seen by Dr. Zulexis Alcaide or Dr. Lia Panos, both offering warm, collaborative, high-quality care under the supervision of our founder, Hannah Yang.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Your appointment will be with one of Dr. Yang’s supervised clinicians — Dr. Lia Panos or Dr. Zulexis Alcaide - depending on availability. Each clinician is warmly guided and supported by our founder, Dr. Hannah Yang, to ensure you receive deeply compassionate, trauma-informed care. No matter who you meet with, you can expect a safe, affirming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your healing journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our supervised clinicians - Dr. Lia Panos and Dr. Zulexis Alcaide - begin by creating a safe, supportive space where you can openly share your history, concerns, and goals. Early sessions focus on building trust and understanding the root causes of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or relationship challenges.
Together, you and your therapist explore the patterns affecting your emotional well-being and clarify what you want to work toward. From there, your clinician will develop a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your needs, using approaches such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed therapy. The process is collaborative, empowering, and focused on helping you feel more grounded, balanced, and emotionally resilient.

It was just a first appointment, but I already feel confident in finding support with Dr. Sarah. The office is lovely and welcoming, the in-take paperwork helped me prepare for what I wanted to talk about and gave me a starting point. Sarah was very kind and attentive and helped me identify and set goals for our work. I'm excited to continue my appointments with her.
