Getting to know Nicole Yan
My approach to therapy is grounded in mutual respect, openness, and acceptance. Together, we create a safe space to explore the personal and emotional challenges you may be facing. I believe that each person has an innate capacity for gentleness, warmth, wisdom, and compassion, and I support clients in reconnecting with these qualities to heal their own suffering.
I enjoy walking alongside individuals on their journeys and helping them nurture both their inner and outer worlds with kindness and awareness. My work draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic techniques, client-centered approaches, mindfulness, self-compassion practices, and Buddhist psychology. I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, spirituality, relationship issues, substance use, and gender identity.
I hold graduate degrees in both Social Work (MSW) and Divinity (MDiv) from the University of Chicago. My background also includes work as a hospital chaplain, where I integrated contemplative practices into patient care. For several years, I have facilitated a weekly meditation group to support community growth and healing. I am fluent in both English and Chinese.
