Getting to know Yumi Nielsen
With the right match, psychotherapy is a gift to yourself. I'm trained as a licensed clinical social worker and see people remotely in New York and Michigan. My approach is warm, genuine, and affirming. It's my job to listen and understand how your background, circumstances, relationships, and overlapping social identities have shaped your experience and help you navigate whatever you're facing so you can heal and move forward.
I've been a social worker for 20+ years and have worked with, and on behalf of kids and adults of all ages in the areas of mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, education, LGBTQIA+/TGNBI rights, and services for people without stable housing. After some soul searching and shifting of my "why," I've returned to individual work. I enjoy meeting and working with people from all walks of life. I have a master's degree with a law minor from Columbia University and a bachelor's in psychology from the University of Michigan.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She has been a great listener, encouraging feed back, sympathetic. I am most comfortable talking to her without feeling I will be judged, and so much more
