Getting to know Elaine Yao

As a culturally sensitive and strength-focused therapist, my approach is to provide support and guidance to help my clients move past their internal struggles. I do not believe I am an expert on your life or that I have all the answers, but I do believe I can create a non-judgmental and safe environment for growth and learning. Through building our relationship, I aim to help you gain key insights to make sense of your problems and patterns while working with you to identify your emotional needs. By helping you understand the “why” behind your behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and relationships, we can better see the underlying forces impacting your life. Once we shed light on the situation, I will help you develop the necessary tools and skills to overcome it. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. Although we all want to reach results as quickly as possible, therapy-and life in general-is a long journey that can be easier with someone walking beside you.
