Currently only accepting focused, short-term therapy clients - 12 sessions or less. Hi I'm Charles Yin. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. I live in San Diego, CA. Growing up in Minnesota, I struggled with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) (aka winter blues). This drove me to find better ways to cope with lack of energy, and feeling empty during the darker days of fall and winter. Two things helped me tremendously in weathering these emotional storms: Running track and cross-country in high school and college— and leaning into my growing faith in Christ. Throughout my adult years I've drawn tremendous comfort and the ability to stay anchored and live fully in the midst of life's inevitable storms via learning psychological tools and acceptance-based therapies. I hope to help you to live fully and meaningfully in the midst of your current pain and struggles. Common concerns of my clients include: relationships, loneliness/social connection, stress/work-life balance, self-esteem, ADHD, depression, values/meaning. Common wins/positive outcomes: Greater values clarification; increased self-awareness (of emotions and thought processes); increased committed action toward values.
