Professional statement

Dr. Yesel Yoon is a Clinical Psychologist who works with adults who struggle with perfectionism, burnout from relationships and caregiving, and career transitions. Many of her clients describe themselves as high achievers and perfectionists. They are often so invested in pleasing others but they struggle to take care of themselves. She helps people gain more self-compassion and establish healthy coping skills. She also provides counseling for professionals struggling to find a good career fit or transitioning to a new job.

Dr. Yoon’s approach is both exploratory and skills-based. Her techniques include utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. She works with her clients to adapt more flexible ways of thinking about themselves and their situations so they can get unstuck and feel less stressed or burned out. For her clients in Career Counseling, she uses assessments to target strengths, values, and goals and helps people achieve actionable steps.

Dr. Yoon wants her clients to feel more confident in their ability to manage their emotions, and to be more accepting of themselves so they can gain a more fulfilling life. One of her favorite quotes is “Get out of your mind and into your life.” She hopes to help you put this into action.


Message to clients

In this urban environment where you're constantly expected to stay ‘on the go’ and ‘hustle’ from one thing to the next, it may feel strange to consider slowing down. Maybe you can’t imagine telling someone how you’re really doing because you don’t want to burden someone else with your issues. I want to hear your story and help you feel less overwhelmed and alone.
You can achieve more balance in your life so you're able to take care of yourself while still feeling connected to others. You don’t have to keep apologizing for expressing yourself or attending to your own needs. In fact, how would it be to feel confident and secure in who you are? You are taking a big step by seeking therapy and I'm glad you're doing that! I look forward to working with you and supporting you through the transitions and challenges in your life.
