Dr. Judy Yuen

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Most of the people I work with have been told — or have told themselves — that they should be able to handle this. They're healthcare professionals, leaders, or both. They know what stress is. They've managed harder things. Therapy felt like something for other people, until something shifted. I work with people at that turning point. Sixteen years in healthcare, as a clinician and a leader, means I understand what it actually feels like to carry the weight of high-stakes work — the complexity, the responsibility, and the very specific kind of exhaustion that doesn't go away with a long weekend. I practice virtually throughout California and take Aetna, Cigna, and BlueCross BlueShield. You don't have to arrive with the right words or a clear agenda. That's what the first session is for.
