Yihan Yuan, MHC

The ways you cope and meet expectations often develop for good reasons. They may have helped you navigate difficult experiences or maintain important relationships. Over time, however, these patterns can begin to feel limiting or disconnected from who you are becoming. I support people who feel caught between the roles they have learned to fulfill and the life they want to create. You may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or cultural and family expectations.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and informed by person-centered, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based perspectives. Together, we can explore how past experiences shape your current emotions, relationships, choices, and sense of self.

My style is thoughtful, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I will follow your pace, listen closely, and make space for complexity and uncertainty. My hope is that therapy helps you feel more understood, connected to your needs, and confident making choices that feel authentic to you.
