Professional statement

Yumin Tan is a psychotherapist and coach in Providence, RI. Her practice focuses on two areas. In one area, she works with high school/college students and professionals of Asian descent to help them as they navigate the space between two cultures, discover their unique voice, and develop their own value in their community. A native Cantonese and Mandarin speaker, Yumin offers sessions in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin Chinese.

Working with trauma survivors is another focus of her practice, helping them restore a sense of safety, build emotional resilience, process traumatic thoughts and feelings, and find their true missions in life.

Yumin practices an integrated approach. She incorporates Internal Family System (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Yumin is also a certified yoga & meditation instructor and draws from mindfulness practices and Evolutionary Astrology to foster healing in body, mind, and spirit.

Prior to Yumin's work in counseling, she was an auditor/controller in CPA/private firms for six years.

Message to clients

I practice the philosophy is self-acceptance. My core belief is that we are all unique and talented in numerous ways. Therefore, we must follow our own path in life. You may doubt yourself sometimes because your path does not meet society’s expectations. But, there is only one YOU in this gigantic universe that no one can replace.

Professional endorsements

Jennifer Shih, LMSW

Yumin is hardworking, caring, empathic, and genuine as a therapist. She actively listens to client’s problems without passing any judgment, and is able to be emotionally attuned to client’s needs and feelings. She is also very patient and supportive as she allows clients to work through their problems at their own pace. With her interning experience with the Butterflies program, she’s worked with families of different backgrounds. She treats each and every client she’s met with respect, truly valuing their individuality and uniqueness as a person, which I believe is a very precious quality as a therapist.

Dorothy Johnson-Laird, Social Services Manager

I would highly recommend Yumin Tan as a therapist. She is a smart, amiable and caring individual. She has extensive experience working with Chinese immigrants and young people. She is a person of great sensitivity, compassion and concern for people.
