About Yong
Her background includes early work providing specialized services to children and families, followed by broad practice with individuals and couples. She has experience with bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive concerns, ADHD, addiction, grief, and survivors of emotional and physical trauma. She also addresses relationship and parenting stresses.
Yong uses a client-centered stance as the foundation of her work. She adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and goal oriented.
Sessions are tailored to each person's situation. Yong aims to build a collaborative plan and to teach skills people can use between meetings. She focuses on realistic steps that fit into daily life and on improving communication in relationships.
If someone is ready to start, Yong asks them to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. She then works with them to set small, achievable goals and to track progress over time.
