Yang Wang, LPC

You may be doing everything you’re "supposed" to do, yet still feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of where you’re going. Sometimes it can be hard to understand why certain feelings or patterns keep coming up. In therapy, I hope to offer a steady and supportive space where we can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and explore what may be getting in the way. Together, we can work toward more clarity, confidence, and a life that feels more like your own.

I offer therapy in both English and Mandarin. I especially enjoy working with clients navigating cross-cultural identities, loneliness and isolation, relationship challenges, anxiety, and intergenerational trauma. My approach is flexible and collaborative, drawing from psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and person-centered.

My hope is that therapy with me feels warm and genuine. I’ll meet you with curiosity and care, and we can move at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d be glad to connect and learn more about what’s bringing you to therapy.

你可能已经在努力把所有“应该做的事”都做好了，却还是会感到焦虑、孤单、疲惫，或者不太确定自己到底想往哪里走。有时候，我们也很难说清楚，为什么某些情绪和相似的模式总是一再出现。在咨询中，我希望为你提供一个稳定、包容的空间，让我们可以慢下来，一起理解你正在经历什么，也看看是什么让你觉得卡住了。我们可以一步一步，慢慢找到更多的清晰感、自信，也更靠近一种真正属于你的生活。

我为个人和伴侣提供心理咨询。在我们的工作中，我会运用到多种咨询取向，包括精神动力学理论、接纳与承诺疗法（ACT）和人本中心疗法等。我擅长协助来访应对抑郁、焦虑、童年/代际/复杂创伤、亲密关系难题、自我身份探索、悲痛与失去，以及跨文化适应等议题。

希望在与我的咨询过程中，你能感受到温暖、被理解，也被当作一个完整的人来看见。如果你觉得我们也许会比较合适，欢迎你来找我聊一聊，我也很愿意听听，是什么让你在这个时候开始考虑心理咨询的。
