YANXIN ZHAO, AMFT
THERAPIST | AMFT #149968
Hi I'm Yanxin,
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am fluent in both Mandarin and English. I believe that reaching out for support is a courageous step, and it would be an honor to be part of your journey. My approach centers on creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. I’m here to offer a comforting presence, walking alongside you through challenges and celebrating every step of your progress.
I specialized in a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques. My focus is always on meeting you where you are and providing tailored support to help you grow in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
I am passionate about working with children, using play and art techniques to foster self-expression and connection. I have supported children facing behavioral, social, emotional, and academic issues, such as ADHD, school refusal, emotional regulation, anxiety, and family conflict, working closely with parents to foster understanding and support at home. With adults, I focus on concerns like anxiety, academic/work stress, low motivation, family conflict, relationship challenges, and life transitions, helping you find the inner strength to thrive.
Growing up in Beijing, China, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that cultural differences, identity struggles, and adapting to new environments can bring. I am dedicated to creating a culturally sensitive space for exploring these experiences.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy exploring new places, playing puzzles, spending time with loved ones, and taking long walks in nature. I am looking forward to help and support you on this journey.
