Our Cigna-covered therapy services
Individual therapy
Our individual therapy sessions are tailored to your unique story, values, and goals. Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or a season of transition, you’ll be paired with a therapist who understands the bigger picture of who you are.
Child & teen therapy
Our child and teen therapists use trauma-infromed, developmentally appropriate approaches to help young people express what they can’t always put into words. We also partner closely with parents so the whole family feels supported along the way.
Couples therapy
Whether you’re rebuilding trust, navigating a major transition, or simply wanting to feel close again, our couples therapists use evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method to help you communicate better and reconnect.
Family therapy
Family therapy at YCC explores how culture, generational patterns, and communication styles shape your relationships at home. We help families move out of stuck cycles and into deeper understanding, empathy, and connection with one another.
What sets our practice apart from other Los Angeles therapy practices
- Culturally responsive, trauma-informed care: While our services to people of all cultural backgrounds, we specialize in serving Asian American and multicultural clients.

- A wide range of evidence-based modalities: Whether you’re looking for EMDR, IFS, CBT, ACT, DBT, somatic work, or the Gottman Method, we have a clinician trained in what you need.
- Published authors and thought leaders: Our co-founders Linda Yoon and Soo Jin Lee co-authored Where I Belong: Healing Trauma and Embracing Asian American Identity, and their work has been featured in several esteemed media outlets.
- LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming: We have dedicated support groups and programs for neurodivergent clients, and every clinician practices LGBTQIA-affirming care.
- Community-oriented: We offer free, ongoing community programs—both online and in-person in LA—because healing shouldn’t only happen in the therapy room.
- Hybrid availability: Most of our team sees clients online, with some limited in-person availability in Los Angeles County.
