Yiming Yuan - Mind & Body Garden Psychology

Nancy McWilliams once wrote, “Not getting it right, making mistakes, and wishing we had the courage to do it differently is not an indication of an underlying pathology or disease. It is the human condition.” This is a belief I hold at the heart of my therapeutic work. I see therapy as a space where all emotions and new interpersonal experiences are allowed to unfold—where people can start to free themselves from the weight of their past and the grip of their fixed narratives and complex feelings about the future, and move toward a more fulfilling life. As Dorothy Dinnerstein said, “Life is given a shape that extends back into the past and forward into the future.”

I am a licensed psychotherapist trained at Adelphi University, the William Alanson White Institute, and the Ackerman Institute for the Family. My background integrates in-depth training in mental health counseling, interpersonal psychoanalysis, and family therapy.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, migration stress, minority identity struggles, workplace burnout, and relational conflicts between partners or across generations. I approach therapy through a multicultural and interpersonal lens, helping clients reconnect with the strengths and capacities they already carry within them.

Nancy McWilliams曾写道：“没有做对，犯了错误，并希望我们有勇气以不同的方式去做，这并不表明存在潜在的病理或疾病。这是人类的共性。”这是我在咨询工作中一直秉持的信念。我相信在允许所有情绪得以表达和新的人际交往体验得以发生的咨询室内，人们可以从他们的过往和对未来的执着中解放出来，过上更加满意的生活。正如Dorothy Dinnerstein所说：“人生的形状延伸向过去，也展开向未来。”

我是一名执照心理咨询师。我在阿德菲大学 (Adelphi University)、威廉·阿兰森·怀特研究所 (William Alanson White Institute) 和阿克曼家庭研究所 (Ackerman Institute for the Family) 接受培训，其中包括心理健康咨询、人际关系取向精神分析和家庭治疗理论以及实践方面的深入受训。

我陪伴过许多在生活中挣扎的人们：在异国他乡感到漂泊的人，因身份与文化而感到孤独的人，陷入抑郁与焦虑情绪的人，因工作而身心俱疲的人，也有那些在亲密关系中迷失方向的伴侣与家庭。多元文化和人际关系的视角，让我能够陪伴来访者重新连接并拥抱他们本来就蕴藏在体内的力量与能力。
