Therapy for Asian & Asian American Adults, Professionals and Young Adults in VA & MA
Specialized Teletherapy in English & 한국어
Hi, I’m Heejin Yun, LPC, LMHC, ATR-P.
My practice combines deep self-insight with practical skills to help you manage persistent anxiety and low mood, set healthy boundaries, and regain your agency.
Does Any of This Feel Familiar?
Perfectionism and Procrastination
Stuck in “all-or-nothing” thinking where if a task can’t be done perfectly, it feels impossible to start—leading to overwhelming delay, overworking, and imposter syndrome.
Fixating on What’s Out of Control
Feeling overwhelmed because your brain constantly focuses on unpredictable situations, worst-case scenarios, or things you can’t change—leaving you feeling powerless and on edge.
Academic & High-Achieving Pressure
Carrying the silent weight of extreme expectations, career uncertainty, and the persistent feeling that no matter how much you achieve, it’s never quite enough.
Cultural Identity, Belonging & Family Guilt
The daily exhaustion of code-switching, language barriers, feeling like an outsider, and balancing heavy family expectations against your own personal identity.
Persistent Anxiety, Burnout & Life Shifts
Navigating major career, relational, or relocation transitions while managing fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and isolation without dedicated support.
Immigration & Visa Status Anxiety
Constant hypervigilance, uncertainty, and systemic dependence tied to visa status, OPT/CPT deadlines, green card delays, and legal barriers—leaving you unable to plan for the future.
Isolation & Lack of Support System
Navigating high-stress life stages without a strong safety net nearby, feeling disconnected, or carrying heavy emotional burdens alone because no one around you truly understands what you’re going through.
Understand the Pattern. Regain Your Agency.
Therapy with me combines deep insight with practical strategies, so you can understand yourself and know exactly what to do with what you discover. Select “The Why” or “The How” below to see how we’ll work together:
- Where did these patterns come from? — Uncovering the root causes of your stress, anxiety, or perfectionism.
- What experiences shaped how you respond today? — Understanding how past expectations influence your present mindset.
- What happens when old patterns meet your life now? — Seeing how outdated coping strategies leave you feeling stuck or powerless.
- Change your perspective on stress — Reframe black-and-white thinking using CBT and ACT skills so you can view challenges with flexibility rather than fear.
- Regain emotional control — Use DBT grounding and emotional regulation techniques to manage sudden overwhelm and calm your nervous system.
- Shift focus to what you can influence — Stop getting hijacked by unpredictable situations and anchor yourself in actions that are actually within your control.
- Communicate & move forward with agency — Set healthy boundaries without guilt and make choices aligned with your values rather than old patterns.
