“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 work with young adults, international students, immigrants, and early-career professionals who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, perfectionism, self-esteem concerns, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and cultural adjustment. I understand how culture, family expectations, identity, and belonging can shape our mental health, relationships, and sense of self.
I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling seen, understood, and accepted. I provide a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive space where you can explore your experiences, understand yourself more deeply, and create meaningful change.
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 explore the connections between their thoughts, emotions, past experiences, relationships, and current patterns while developing healthier coping skills and greater emotional resilience.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, major life transitions, or questions about identity and belonging, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, build confidence, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to support you in creating a life that feels authentic, grounded, 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 consult. You do not need to prepare anything in advance or arrive with a specific topic in mind. We can begin wherever feels most comfortable for you.
In our initial sessions, we will explore what brings you to therapy, your current experiences, and what you hope to gain from our work together. As therapy progresses, we will reflect on your emotions, relationships, life experiences, and recurring patterns while regularly checking in about your goals and what feels most helpful for your growth.
