Yu Wang

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Clermont, FL


I became a mental health provider because I believe everyone deserves to be heard.

My practice is built on a level of clinical depth that sets my care apart: my background includes extensive hands-on experience in high-acuity inpatient psychiatric units, comprehensive outpatient clinics, and active service as a Mental Health Nurse in the U.S. Air Force.

At Mental Clarity Psychiatry, I take an integrative, unhurried approach to whole-person care, focusing on how your physical health, lifestyle, and unique life story impact your mind. My goal is to build a partnership based on true trust rather than just managing symptoms, combining clinical expertise with personalized guidance to help you find a sustainable path back to yourself. Please call 689-349-8700 for more information.

I foster the belief that everyone has something to offer and in their most difficult times can lead us to those special gifts that are within every one of us.

For your convenience I offer Tele-Therapy from anywhere across the state of Florida and in-person sessions at 1502 N. Donnelly St. St. 110 Mt. Dora, FL.

Talking to someone new can be extremely difficult. Are you looking to talk to someone who is non judgmental and authentic. Someone who will guide you in making changes in your behavior, thought process and emotions. You may have been affected by life circumstances, stressors, or even a traumatic event that wasn’t within your control. It's important to be patient with yourself as you set goals. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of expertise.

Merlyn Asencio

Merlyn Asencio

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi there! I’m so glad you found your way here, I’m Merlyn. What drew me to therapy wasn’t theory, but the quiet moment when someone feels safe enough to exhale, speak their truth, and realize they were never too much to be understood. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about understanding the parts of you that had to fight, protect, and survive.


I also provide Christian-integrated counseling for women who share this faith, helping you explore your struggles through both science and Scripture, where psychology and God’s truth work together beautifully. This blend honors both emotional and spiritual healing, creating space for restoration that feels whole and grounded.


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and the founder of Merlyn Asencio Psychotherapy & Wellness, LLC. I specialize in working with high-functioning women, the ones who appear composed, capable, and self-aware, yet feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. As the creator of The Merlyn MethodTM, I combine attachment-based EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and narrative therapy to help you reconnect with your voice, rebuild confidence, and experience peace that lasts beyond the session.
