Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

When you begin the therapeutic journey, you can feel very vulnerable. My clients make lasting changes and attain the confidence to take the risks to succeed, in an atmosphere of warmth and encouragement. I work with parents, children, teens, and adults addressing anxiety, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, and social issues. They learn to live authentic lives and learn to live in the moment. I have a lot of experiencing with divorced families and help them coparent and do what is in the best interest of their children.

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.

In the journey of healing, navigating life’s vast experiences can be daunting without guidance. Healing is an art, a delicate craft where one wields their life force to reshape both inner and outer obstacles. Trauma, a subtle artist, paints filters on the canvas of perception, shaping our view of self, relationships, and the world. Within these lines, It would be an honor not only to guide you but also to help you cultivate regulation, reclaim your strength, and build a foundation of tranquility and happiness in your life.

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do, or think the way that you think? Or have you been feeling stuck in a feeling and want to make a change? I do my very best to create a safe space for my patients and make authentic observations about lifestyle, thinking patterns, relationship/attachment styles, and clinical symptoms so that you can understand yourself better. Sometimes starting therapy with a new clinician can be a challenging and/or intimidating process, and I try to be as realistic as possible. I also understand that no one is perfect, and I come from a person-centered non-judgmental approach to therapy.

All of our lives have been drastically impacted by the crisis the world is going through. There is increased fear surrounding all of the unknowns. Like a lot of people, you may be feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain. Even if you and your loved ones are safe, being at home 24-7 with your family brings extra stress outside the norm, while living alone could feel isolating and lonely. If you’re struggling more than usual with anxiety, depression, or stress right now you’re not alone. I’m here and I can help you (and/or your family) regain a sense of control over the discomforts you may currently be experiencing.

Psychological assessment and individual psychotherapy are helpful when people might be looking for self-understanding. These services help foster better self-awareness, strengths identification, or new coping skills to build resilience. My work in psychological assessment centers a collaborative style through which I intend for people being tested to better understand themselves, their learning styles, and/or their ways of experiencing the world. Therapy is a space where I aim to work with clients to reach their goals by understanding clients' contexts, identities, strengths, and goals.
