Getting to know Sophia Yu

I approach each client with a person-centered, culturally responsive lens and integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with psychodynamic approaches that explore the impact of early relationships and attachment experiences. As a first-generation Asian American and first-generation college student, I bring both personal insight and professional intention to my work with individuals across the lifespan. I am particularly passionate about supporting immigrant populations and those navigating acculturation, identity development, and belonging. I focus includes anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and interpersonal challenges. I hold value in individualized care and recognize that healing is not a linear process. My goal is to create a collaborative, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.
