Joann Yang

You are overwhelmed at work, a place where you’ve excelled. Your personal life and relationships are affected, and you don’t feel like yourself. The work stress, anxiety, and perfectionism, coupled with lack of motivation, mindless wandering, and change in confidence is getting to you. You want to find a way to feel happy, excited, and fulfilled again but there’s a blocker and you’re not sure what it is. Therapy is a safe space to explore and work through these challenges, and I’d be honored to be a part of that journey with you.

I specialize in Asian American Pacific Islander mental health, specifically anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, first generation, children of narcissistic/"tiger" parents, aging parents, grief, guilt/shame, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and academic/career counseling. I also work with clients in pregnancy and postpartum.

I am trained in CBT and DBT. In therapy, we will use evidence-based practices to achieve your goals. We will build on the skills and resources you already have, empower you to overcome obstacles, and to take charge of your life.

In our first session, I aim to gain a better understanding of you by asking questions about what brought you to therapy and any relevant history. If we agree to work together, we will collaboratively create the goals you want to achieve in therapy.
