Heejin Yun, LPC
Life can get messy, but you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I believe therapy is an open, collaborative space where you can show up exactly as you are, while we work together to find not just practical tools that fit your life, but also the time and space to really process what you’re going through. I focus on supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges, finding relief from anxiety and burnout, and reconnecting with who they truly are. My background allows me to offer culturally informed care that embraces your cultural identity and deeply connects with your unique story.
My Therapeutic Approach
1. Theoretical Orientation
My work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, and ACT, alongside Art Therapy. Recognizing that everyone’s journey and needs are entirely different, I integrate deeper insight with evidence-based tools, blending them to naturally fit your unique identity, pace, and goals.
2. Therapy Style
I integrate insightful exploration with evidence-based strategies, ensuring our work feels both deeply supportive and practically helpful.
3. Change Process
Change happens through a balance of clinical skill-building and emotional processing. By tackling difficult thoughts and learning to manage stress in the present moment, we break old cycles, while ensuring there is always space to safely process what you are experiencing.
