Yulia Fox, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yulia!

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing difficulties in emotional regulation and struggling to manage anxiety or depression symptoms or relationship challenges in their day-to-day lives.

My focus

My client focus is on individuals struggling with emotion regulation due to traumatic invalidation. I work with motivated clients seeking to think, feel, and act more skillfully, connecting more mindfully with themselves and others.

My approach

I work through the lens of the biosocial theory of emotional dysregulation, rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and family systems theory, with an intersubjective approach. I offer DBT-informed psychotherapy and weave in the skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

My communication style

I value client feedback and invite clients to explore our therapeutic relationship through intersubjective experience. Each session begins with mindfulness practice and a collaborative agenda to explore goals, review progress, and develop a tailored skills plan.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being able to feel BIG feelings is a superpower! Emotions are not just what we feel; they're also what we do. When used skillfully, this superpower can help us act in ways to enhance our relationships, careers, and creative pursuits. As someone who shares this superpower, helping my clients hone in on their own is what drives me to do this work.

My goals for you

I invite my clients to explore their Life Worth Living values and priorities. To get closer to their Life Worth Living goals, I help clients identify what behaviors need to increase, what behaviors need to decrease, and what factors may get in the way of achieving those goals.

Our first session

Our first session will consist of getting to know each other to see if we are a good fit to work together. We will go over your biopsychosocial history, identify your treatment goals, and explore your Life Worth Living goals.
