Getting to know Dr. Karen Yan
*After booking, you will receive a link via IntakeQ so you can complete required intake forms prior to your appointment.*
As a psychiatrist, I specialize in empowering individuals to overcome challenges and unlock their potential for growth. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from New York University and completed my Psychiatry residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Additionally, I hold a Juris Doctor from Harvard University, which enriches my nuanced understanding of the unique pressures faced by professionals, students, and those navigating life transitions. My clinical expertise includes treating mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. My approach is rooted in whole-person care, combining evidence-based medication management with integrative psychotherapy techniques, including CBT, DBT, and ACT. I also provide ADHD coaching to enhance organization and time management skills, helping patients achieve a greater sense of balance and control in their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Every patient's journey is unique, and I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood. In our sessions, we'll work collaboratively to explore your concerns and identify practical steps toward improving your mental health and overall quality of life. Whether you're facing challenges as an international student, a corporate professional, or someone navigating a career shift, I understand how external pressures can affect your mental well-being. Together, we'll develop a tailored plan that aligns with your goals, integrates therapy with medication when appropriate, and empowers you to take charge of your mental health.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our initial session will focus on understanding your history, concerns, and aspirations. I take the time to listen deeply and ensure that all your questions are answered. I don't rush to prescribe or adjust medications; instead, I prioritize getting to know you and working together to build a strong foundation of trust. Subsequent sessions will focus on tracking progress, refining strategies, and addressing challenges as they arise. I believe patient education is a key part of the therapeutic process—understanding your diagnosis and treatment can foster empowerment and confidence in managing your mental health.
If you're ready to invest in yourself and take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I am here to guide you with compassion, expertise, and care.
