My focus

Dr. Yip works with those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, college/life transitions, academic/career stress, sexuality issues, Asian American & minorities, acculturation, & perfectionism. His work integrates current research, rooted in an understanding of how environments- thoughts- core beliefs shape us and how we experience the world.

My approach

Dr. Yip’s approach is grounded in building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel safe, seen, and supported. He believes healing comes from both confronting pain and embracing your truth. Sessions include humor and authenticity to uncover parts of yourself and help you find your voice, purpose, and strength.

My goals for you
