Hi, I’m Yana
a licensed therapist based in New York City. I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, cultural stressors, and life transitions. Many of my clients are first-generation Americans or the first in their families to seek therapy — a brave and meaningful step toward change.
I offer individual therapy for adults in New York and New Jersey who are navigating:
Anxiety, chronic overthinking, and emotional overwhelm
Cultural identity, family expectations, and generational tension
Life transitions, career shifts, and major decisions
Self-esteem, conflict, and relationship patterns
My approach encompasses psychodynamic therapy, humanistic psychology, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help you reconnect with your inner voice and move forward with clarity.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Whether you’re needing short term or long term support, I’m here to help.
