Darick, MA, LMFT David sincerely believes a therapist must earn the opportunity to help each client. In this effort, he takes great care not to misuse the inherent power that comes with being asked for support. David strives to create an emotional and psychological environment that welcomes risky self-expression, deep honesty, and new levels of vulnerability, all of which allow the emergence of a more whole self. He believes this way of being is often the foundation of any desired change and personal growth. David is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and doctoral candidate, who was called to this work later in life despite other passionate interests. Working for decades in foreign language, government work, and teaching, there always remained a palpable lack that he could not explain. Today, he understands that he was missing the rich experience of regularly sharing in the intimate struggle of life with others. Since David takes a person-centered, relational approach to therapy, he invests much time and interest when it comes to learning about who clients are and how they came to be everything they are as they show up in the treatment room today. David specializes in psychological trauma, neurodivergence, and working with those who have struggled with self-esteem, self-worth, difficulty in communicating feelings, and maintaining emotionally balanced relationships. David subscribes to the belief that mental health can only be understood in terms of social contexts; therefore, he takes a multicultural approach to therapy and works to understand and integrate the sociocultural aspects of individuals’ worldview into the work.

The goal is to meet you where you are, so we can get you where you want to be. We will accomplish this by taking an integrative approach to facilitate personal growth and healing by identifying themes, unresolved conflicts, and behavioral patterns. As a culturally competent Therapist, Anthony focuses on being an agent of change that supports women, men, and couples. He incorporates an eclectic approach of various theories that can be tailored into an effective treatment plan that is uniquely tuned for you. Ultimately, the question comes down to how motivated and committed you are to be the change you want to see. As much as therapy can be a positive instrument, it does not keep you from experiencing the hardships of life, but it does make sure that you will be supported with navigating and growing from those experiences.

Psychodynamic therapy is a process of gradually going deeper, gently unwrapping layers of ourselves until we find the heart of ourselves within. In your therapy, we will follow the trail you set, working on the issues that you bring, seeking to find the heart within, or the story behind the story, the part you don't yet know or understand. You may begin with some concrete problem that you are aware of, but it is common that this may eventually lead to a deeper issue or complex needed to be addressed to resolve the problem you started with. It is an exploration – there is no standard roadmap for therapy. The process will play out in unique and different ways for each person. Mike is a former nurse, Navy veteran, ordained minister, and now a Ph.D. Candidate in Clinical Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, after completing studies and currently working on a dissertation about trauma experienced in religious settings. He has therapeutic experience working with groups, adult and adolescent individuals, and adult couples, in secular and religious settings, including the military, LGBTQ+ and HIV communities, and in private psychological practices.

She is bilingual and serves as an interpreter for Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. Diana’s experience includes eight years working at a variety of community mental health clinics and an inpatient psychiatric hospital where adolescents and adults are at their most vulnerable. In her work of psychotherapy, this poem by Wendell Berry describes a tenet of Dr. Yee’s principle orientation: It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings. Dr. Yee believes the impeded stream holds the undiscovered truths of the matter. By holding the psychological, somatic, and spiritual aspects of the self during the journey, the inner workings will reveal itself. In other words, she strives to hold an unconditional regard for the infinite intelligence of the body, heart, mind, and spirit. It is at this juncture that one’s innate intelligence has a chance to sing.
