Yang Sun, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor who brings a multicultural, thoughtful approach to therapy. With a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and a background in social science from the London School of Economics, Yang integrates evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing to support clients navigating trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and identity exploration. Her work is rooted in cultural curiosity, deep listening, and a belief in each person’s potential for transformation.
Yang’s style is insightful, playful, and grounded in authenticity. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore not only what’s painful, but what’s possible. With lived experience across cultures—growing up in China and traveling throughout Europe and the U.S.—she especially enjoys working with immigrants, neurodiverse individuals, and those questioning traditional relationship norms. Yang is currently based in downtown Boston, where she offers both telehealth and in-person sessions. Outside of therapy, she loves to explore, laugh, and stay open to the unexpected possibilities life has to offer.
