Anna Yu
Hi there, I'm Anna. Are you looking for a culturally competent therapist? Are you someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns? Have you recently been diagnosed with, or are a caregiver for someone diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder?
I also have many years of experience working with individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and I am in the process of becoming a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS).
I help individuals from diverse backgrounds manage anxiety, burnout, depression, and autism. I love helping people identify and achieve their therapy goals. We’ll use a holistic approach - integrating mindfulness, physical health, and reflection to reduce symptoms. Whether you’re a new parent adjusting to parenthood, dealing with relationship issues, struggling with anxiety and depression, or a caregiver for someone with autism - I’d be honored to be part of your healing journey. I will meet you where you are, with compassion and non-judgment. I look forward to working with you!
First session
Our first session usually involves getting to know each other - establishing trust and discussing how we will be work together. We will talk about your therapy goal(s), and how we will work toward them. We will identify how and what to do to achieve your goal, and revisit how things are going after each session. After we've worked together for a while, we will adjust your goals or create new ones.
