Yen grew up in the green mountain state of Vermont after moving from Guangdong, China. She received her Bachelor’s in Cognitive Neuroscience from The George Washington University. Yen is completing her Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at NYU.

Yen specializes in working with BIPOC adults with concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use. She collaborates with clients who are looking to enhance their self-awareness, address unresolved conflicts, embrace personal strengths, and create a solid foundation for personal growth.

Yen integrates various therapeutic modalities (CBT, DBT, and ACT) to provide clients with tools that are tailored to their specific experiences, relationships, goals, and desires. Yen believes that a nurturing and inquisitive environment will help clients to feel empowered and seen.

As a Chinese-American, Yen navigated challenges of being an immigrant, woman of color, and first generation professional. Her background informs a clinical lens that emphasizes culture, identity, and values.

Yen is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Taishanese/Toisanese. She is committed to ensuring a more accessible therapeutic experience for clients who prefer communication in these languages.

In her free time, Yen enjoys cooking, reading, and indulging in TV binges. She also competes in ultimate frisbee during warm seasons. As a New York transplant, Yen loves to explore local restaurants and cafes.
