Yunshan Gao(She/Her/Hers)

Yunshan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides online therapy in New York and New Jersey. Clients who work with her often have anxiety, depression, or relational issues. Some of them have excessive worries about their performance in social and work settings, will second-guess and over-analyze themselves, or feel a lack of motivation or procrastination. Others struggles with relationships, either feeling frustrated with their family or partner, or finding themselves feeling afraid of disappointment and rejections. When clients reach out to Yunshan, they often feel stuck or lost and doesn’t know where to start to make changes. Being an Asian therapist also allows Yunshan to be more attuned to immigrants and Asian American clients who struggle with identity and cross-culture family dynamics.

She focuses on helping her clients to manage stressful city life, overcoming loneliness, and achieve self-growth.

Yunshan believes that in therapy, one should not only gain self-awareness, but also be given tools to make changes. Her style is warm, open, and engaging. She provides a safe and non-judgmental space for her clients to express thoughts, explore feelings, identify and remove block, and find the path to inner peace. She listens and asks questions that will help her clients think about themselves and their lives from a different perspective.
