I would love to help you improve your mental health and/or work through life's challenges by creating a space full of strength, kindness, understanding, and resiliency during our sessions. I have experience helping clients with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, career concerns, and identity development. I provide therapy utilizing cultural competence and trauma-informed care and have specific experience with the BIPOC, AAPI, and LGBTQ+ communities.
My practice offers affordable and inclusive sessions with culturally competent providers. Our goal is to make therapy work for you. The process of taking care of your mental health can be a stressful one & we want to make it as easy as possible. We respond to all inquiries within 2 business days.
If my profile resonates with you, I would love to hear from you! I offer free phone consults to see if we're a good fit and answer any questions you may have. Please reach out!
Call or Kelly Yu now for a free 15 minute consultation - (929) 239-4631
