Yu Nien Agustin
Hi, my name is Yu-Nien (Pulinda). I am a board certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker (APU '21) who's worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and across a wide range of ages. I enjoying working with clients from various walks of life. My clients are often experiencing difficulties coping with emotions, feeling confused about their distress, desiring a space for authenticity and warmth, and a nonjudgmental environment. I welcome all who are experiencing various struggles in life and will support you on taking the first step towards healing. My approach is integrative and tailored to each client's unique circumstances and life experiences. The therapeutic modalities I commonly draw from include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Grief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Psychodynamic Therapy. As a Taiwanese bilingual (English and Mandarin) social worker, I believe in meeting clients where they are and honoring their unique experiences. Through our journey together, I will walk alongside you as you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools for lasting growth and healing.
您好,我是妤寧(Pulinda),持有加州認證Licensed Clinical Social Worker執照。在我的臨床工作經驗中,我曾與來自不同背景及各年齡層的個案合作,因此特別關注每一位來談者的獨特性,也享受了解個案不同的人生歷程與生活經驗。我發現許多個案前來尋求協助,是因為他們正在面對情緒調適上的困難、對自身的情緒困擾感到困惑,或渴望擁有一個能夠真誠表達自我、被理解、並感受到溫暖與接納的空間。我希望能提供一個不帶批判且安全的環境,讓個案能自在地探索自己的經驗與內在世界。在壓力源無處不在的世界,我們可以一起溫柔的面對焦慮、憂鬱、創傷及失去,一起消化,找到跟練習適合您的情緒穩定方法,強大您的心理能量。
我的治療取向採整合式方法,並依據每位個案獨特的處境、需求與生命經驗量身調整。我常運用的治療模式包括接納與承諾治療(Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT)、認知行為治療(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT)、悲傷與失落治療、正念取向介入,以及心理動力治療(Psychodynamic Therapy)。我相信有意義的改變建立於治療關係中的平等關係,因此我會與個案密切合作,確保治療方向符合其目標、價值觀與需求。我也特別著重找回每個來談者的自我共情(self-compassion),這也是更能療癒自己的方法之一。
我來自台灣,所以能夠流利的用英文及國語跟您合作。但我也在其他不同國家生活及移民過,所以我體會過在不同文化環境跟關係中適應和尋找自我的過程。我會考量到每位個案所處的人生階段及困擾,並尊重其獨特的生命經驗。如果我們有緣合作,我將陪伴在您身旁,協助您建立心理韌性、深化自我理解,並找到實用的,以促進持續的成長與療癒。我歡迎所有正面臨人生挑戰的人,並願意陪伴您踏出療癒旅程的第一步。
