Getting to know Helen Yu

Hi there, I'm Helen! Hi, my name is Helen Yu. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Psychology from Golden Gate University. I have been working with individuals and families from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds for over 15 years. I am passionate about supporting my clients through life's challenges and working together to find the best tools to manage them. My approach My approach is client-centered and strength-based. I believe no one knows you better than yourself. Sometimes, people just need a little guidance to see things in a more positive way. By validating feelings and experiences, clients can feel empowered to take control. Tools like emotion regulation and cognitive behavioral therapy are often introduced to help clients respond to situations in healthier ways as well. My focus I work with adults who struggle with their emotions, including anxiety, depression, job stress, family issues, low self-esteem, and more. My communication style Acceptance is key. Therapy is not about judging or teaching. It is a process of building trust together to talk about issues and figure out different ways to manage situations. My goals for you Goal setting is teamwork. You set your goals, and together we discuss whether they are feasible. There will be ongoing discussion and adjustments throughout the process to help you accomplish your goals. My first session with you During the first session, I will conduct a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss what brings you to therapy and what you would like to accomplish by the end of our work together.
