Gianna Yu, RPsy

Hi! My name is Gianna, and I pursued a career in psychology because I deeply believe in the importance of mental health. No one should have to face life's challenges alone. Sometimes, what we need most is a safe space and a compassionate, nonjudgmental listener to help us make sense of our thoughts and emotions. Just as we care for our physical health by visiting a doctor, I believe we should give the same attention and care to our mental well-being. My biggest motivation for helping others through counseling comes from seeing how powerful simply being present can be. Feeling heard, understood, and supported can make a meaningful difference. I strive to be a psychologist who empowers clients — someone who gently supports them as they work toward their personal goals and become the best versions of themselves. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and trying out new restaurants with friends. I'm a big foodie, and I have a soft spot for all things cute and sweet. These simple joys help me recharge and bring a sense of balance and calm into my life. In my work, I aim to create a warm and safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing openly and honestly. My goal is never to "fix" anyone, but to walk alongside them as they grow, gain insight, and build the tools they need to navigate life with greater confidence and clarity. Seeking help is a brave step, and I consider it a privilege to be part of that journey.
