Daniel Yim
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations in different community settings. I have adapted different approaches in my clinical work to fit with the populations that I serve. As a therapist, I work to help make clients feel grounded and supported in our session appointments. I strive for authenticity when working with others. I try to help clients value honesty within themselves and in others. I hope to be able to facilitate growth and change in our time together.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Standard Intake Questions. I have to assess medical necessity / need but at the same time you'll be introduced to how I like to approach therapy. The first session would be the most contrived session. The sessions afterward would be a better assessment of how a client and therapist will potentially interact with one another. My job is to figure out what you want to get out of therapy and tailor a treatment plan that fits your needs / goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I tell clients that my strengths as a therapist are being flexible and adapting therapy to the individual / couple. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where we can be honest and authentic towards one another. I like to be direct and address problems. If something is not working, I want my clients to let me know. I want my clients to be comfortable enough to challenge the therapist. Therapy is a process and there is no one approach that works well for everyone. My strength as a therapist is to adapt therapy to best help individuals / couples reach their treatment goals. This is taken directly from my website profile page because I say this all the time. My strengths as a therapist is tailoring therapy to the individual as best as I can for clients to reach their treatment goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with clients who are open to creating a dialogue and discussion. Therapy is hard and at times challenging, but being open to discussion makes it easier for the both of us. Therapy cannot progress well if neither of us participate.

My treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Work to create tangible goals to address concerns for this phase of life. Therapy does not need to a life long treatment, but therapy can be for different phases of your life. Enter and exit therapy as we work through specific and tangible treatment goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Work through your cognitive thought triangle and understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. Work to address irrational belief systems that contributed to their negative feedback loop.
