“I've been seeing Yihan for a few sessions, and I genuinely feel that my mental health has been improving. As a former international student and now a young professional, I have faced struggles that can be difficult to explain or find the right audience for.
I sometimes become stuck in obsessive thought patterns and hold certain values too rigidly, which can make me less happy. Because I had often felt judged in the past, I was nervous before my first session. However, Yihan quickly created a safe and nonjudgmental space and listened closely to my experiences.
I tend to become philosophical when reflecting on my past, but Yihan is usually able to understand what I am trying to express. She also asks thoughtful questions that help me untangle my thoughts and find a way forward when I feel stuck. I really appreciate her empathy, openness, and insight, and I would highly recommend her.”

Getting to know Yihan Yuan
Hi, I’m Yihan. I provide therapy for young adults, college students, international students, immigrants, and early-career professionals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity concerns, and cultural adjustment.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I understand that mental health is deeply influenced by culture, family expectations, relationships, identity, and belonging. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, gain clarity, and make meaningful changes.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, attachment-based therapy, and culturally responsive care. I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, relationships, past experiences, and current patterns while developing healthier coping skills, emotional resilience, self-esteem, and confidence.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, identity exploration, cultural adjustment, and major life transitions. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about your next step, therapy can help you better understand yourself and create a life that feels authentic and aligned with your values.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After you book an appointment, I will personally reach out to schedule a consultation. You do not need to prepare anything in advance or have a specific topic in mind.
During our initial sessions, we will explore what brings you to therapy, your current experiences, and what you hope to gain from therapy. As we work together, we will identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and regularly revisit your goals and progress. My approach is collaborative and individualized, and we will move at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.
