Hi, my name is Helen Yu. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working with individuals and families with diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds for over 15 years. I am passionate about supporting my clients through challenges in life and working together to find the best tool to manage them. My approach is client-centered and strength-based. I believe no one can know better than yourself. Sometimes, people just need a little guide to see things in a more positive way.
By validating the feelings and experiences, clients can feel empowered to take things in control. Some tools like emotion regulation and cognitive behavioral therapy are often introduced to help clients respond situations in a healthier way as well.
I work with adults who struggle with their emotions which include anxiety, depression, job stress, family issues, low self-esteem, etc. Acceptance is the key. Therapy is not to judge and not to teach. Therapy is a process of building trust together in order to talk about the issue and figure out different ways to manage the situation.
Take the first step to help. Call or Email Helen Yu now - (213) 715-6338
