Getting to know Yun Jin Carson

My name is YJ Carson, LCSW. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Chico, and a Master's in Nonprofit Administration from the University of San Francisco. My passion is supporting adults 18+ who are at any point in their journey toward wellness, fulfillment, discovery, and self-love. I use therapies like EMDR, CBT, and DBT that strengthen your internal resources to help you achieve your personal growth goals. My approach My work is rooted in the following therapies: EMDR, CBT, DBT, psychodrama, internal family systems, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, existential therapy, and postmodern therapies (feminist, multicultural, anti-oppressive). My focus We may be a good match if you need to work through issues such as depression, PTSD and complex trauma, systemic racism/classism, hetero-sexism, sizism, cisgenderism, experiences in the child welfare system and/or adoptee identity (domestic, international, and transracial), living with addiction and compulsions, polyamory, self-care, building confidence, self-love, improving relationships, low motivation, low productivity, procrastination, diabetes, and more. My communication style I strive to keep a casual, nonjudgmental, positive, and open space. When you leave sessions, my hope is that you feel seen, heard, understood, and challenged in helpful ways. My journey to therapy My favorite part about being a therapist is witnessing people experience healing, growth, and transformation that propel them into living their best lives. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing you succeed and being part of that process. My goals for you In the first three sessions, I collaborate with you to gather information and assess your needs so we can create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. We will regularly review your progress toward your personal goals and make adjustments as needed.
