Yia Yang, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yia!

I specialize in supporting adults through depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate their struggles and develop healthier coping skills to lead more fulfilling lives.

My focus

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, addressing a wide array of clinical issues. My primary focus is individual therapy with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, social skills difficulties, relationship struggles, and trauma.

My approach

I take an integrative, client-centered approach, tailoring treatment to each person's unique needs, goals, and life experiences. I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Motivational Interviewing to address depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, relationship challenges, and trauma.

My communication style

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where we work together to explore challenges, develop insights, and build practical tools for lasting change. I approach each conversation with empathy and without judgment, ensuring you feel heard and valued in every session.

My journey to mental healthcare

I realized my true passion lay in helping others at a deeper level. Mental wellness is at the heart of a thriving community. When individuals are supported and able to heal, they contribute to making the community stronger, which reinforced my commitment to this work.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, believing the most meaningful change happens when we work together. We identify goals that are achievable and realistic within the context of your current life. This partnership fosters motivation and accountability, allowing you to feel empowered.

Our first session

My primary focus is to learn about you and understand what brings you to therapy. You'll share your experiences, struggles, and goals, and I'll gain a deeper understanding of your situation. We'll discuss your expectations, and I'll answer any questions or concerns you may have.
