About Yer Vang

My name is Yer Vang, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. I find it a privilege to work with children, youth and adolescents, and adults through virtual therapy and in-person services. I work with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADD, ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood disorders, grief and bereavement, life adjustments, self-esteem, self-image, suicidal ideations, non suicidal self injurious behavior, family and relationship dysfunction, and more.

By using theoretical bases including cognitive behavioral, person-centered, existential, humanistic, and multicultural approaches, I help my clients examine and understand the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior choices. Primarily, I believe in “the power of story,” and find it is of great benefit for patients to be able to tell their stories in a safe, accepting, non-judgmental setting.

Through our work together, my clients achieve outcomes that lead them to a sense of awareness, understanding, and more control over the struggles that initially encouraged them to seek support.

It is fulfilling to learn about the story of my client’s lives, and hope to help them navigate life’s struggles. I come from a big family, so I understand how important — and sometimes complicated — such dynamics can be. I also have three cats who keep things interesting at home! In my work, I really believe that active listening is one of the most powerful tools we have. My goal is to create a space where all feel heard, understood, and supported as they grow.
