Hi, I’m Katie Yung
MSW, SUDP, CADCII, LSWAIC
I value balance, connection, and taking time to recharge, and I believe those same principles are essential for mental and emotional well-being.
My personal and professional experiences shape the empathy, flexibility, and genuine care I bring into my work, allowing me to meet clients with understanding, warmth, and respect at every stage of their journey.
Outside of the therapy room, I stay busy as a baseball and Girl Scout mom, and life at home includes one dog and three cats who keep things lively and entertaining.
My Approach
Connection
That’s why I strive to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and free of judgment, where clients can show up as their authentic selves.
Trust
My style is supportive and strengths-based, with a focus on building insight, resilience, and practical coping skills that clients can carry into their daily lives.
Understanding
I take a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy and work collaboratively with clients to help them navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and everyday stressors.
