Hi, I’m Yatong—Accredited social worker and certified psychedelic-assisted therapist with over 4 years of clinical experience supporting individuals in community mental health settings. I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially those living with ADHD, like myself. My lived experience helps me connect with those who feel out of sync with the world, and offer grounded, meaningful support.
Clinically, I draw from CBT, ACT, trauma-informed, and person-centered approaches. I have formal training in a variety of therapeutic approaches, suicide prevention, crisis response, and mental health recovery, and have supported clients through acute distress, identity confusion, and long-standing emotional pain.
As a certified psychedelic-assisted therapist, I also offer integration support for those processing deep or challenging experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Inspired by connecting Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s in person and trauma-informed work, I believe healing begins when we meet the needs that were never met. I offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard, your experience is honored, and your growth is possible.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
