Navigating the intersecting paths of career, parenthood, and societal expectations can be tough. I specialize in women's issues and entertainment professionals, including managing the stress and anxiety of trying to "do it all." I am especially passionate about helping working mothers balance myriad and sometimes conflicting priorities. Perhaps you feel deluged by your parental, familial, or professional responsibilities. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or out of sync, nursing wounds that are bandaged but unhealed. I collaborate with clients through empathy, authenticity, and humor to navigate difficult circ*mstances.

I know therapy can be intimidating and awkward, asking you to share your life with a stranger can be uncomfortable. I want to give you a safe space free of judgment. I am not promising you that I have all the answers but together we can peel back the layers and see what is going on. Not every session has to be serious or draining. I enjoy what I do and I want you to enjoy therapy too. I want to laugh and chat with you about your weekends, the music you like or tv shows your currently binging. Please feel free to reach out!

I want to acknowledge if you’re looking for a therapist, it’s unlikely things are going as you hoped right now. That sucks and I get that. You deserve to live an empowered, embodied existence and I want to guide you on that journey. Together we will reignite or deepen your connection to yourself and others (romantic and platonic). I'll support you through hard and messy conversations, as we discover purpose, passion, and build insight; I'll stand by you as we cultivate self-love, worth, and esteem. Together we can rewrite your story so it works for you.

Sleep problems require specialized treatment. As a board-certified behavioral sleep psychologist, I help adults, teens and children who struggle to turn off their minds at night, find themselves wide awake at odd hours, or feel unrefreshed in the morning, and those with distressing nightmares or vivid dreams. Although I often help folks reduce reliance on sleep aids if that is their goal, I work with anyone regardless of their current medications, substances, and supplements to improve their sleep naturally. I also help families with children whose sleep disturbances are disrupting bedtime and sleep for the whole household.

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.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has beenverified by Psychology Todayare signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.


What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselorsare all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.


What type of therapy is right for me?

Thetype of therapybest suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.


How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.


What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.


Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.


Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conductedonlinecan be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.


Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
