Dr. Karen Yan

As a psychiatrist with a unique background in law, economics, and medicine, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges that high-achieving individuals often face—whether you’re a college student navigating academic stress, an international student adjusting to life far from home, or a professional grappling with career transitions.

I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders. For students, I focus on addressing academic pressures, identity development, and challenges with time management or focus. International students can trust that I understand the cultural and emotional complexities of studying in a new country. I also have extensive experience helping legal and corporate professionals manage stress, burnout, and transitions, drawing from my own experience as an attorney and compliance executive.

My approach combines medication management with psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Whether through CBT, DBT, ACT, or ADHD coaching, I’ll help you develop skills to manage stress, improve focus, and build a fulfilling life. We’ll work together to identify practical strategies, build resilience, and foster growth in a way that makes sense for you.

During our sessions, I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood. I’ll take the time to understand your concerns, answer your questions, and ensure you feel fully informed about your care. Collaboration and education are cornerstones of my practice because understanding your treatment empowers you to take charge of your mental health.

Your potential for growth is limitless. Together, we can address the barriers holding you back and uncover new possibilities for living with purpose and confidence. Let’s build a plan that helps you achieve your goals and thrive, no matter where life takes you.
