Hi there, I'm Yong!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of UCLight Therapy. I provide culturally responsive therapy in English and Mandarin, helping clients navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Together, we'll work toward healing, resilience, and lasting growth.

My focus

I especially enjoy working with immigrants, children of immigrants, students, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, chronic health conditions, and life transitions. I also support clients balancing cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and personal growth.

My approach

You're the expert on your own life—my role is to listen first. I provide collaborative, client-centered care tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, ACT, CBT, and DBT to help you heal, build resilience, and live according to your values.
