Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I imagine you may be experiencing a number of emotions. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the process of selecting a counselor? Hopeful about the possibility of receiving support and making change? Skeptical about how an online therapist profile can actually give you a sense of a therapist’s approach and how you might be able to work with them?
You’re not alone.
I can tell you facts about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the States of California, Oregon and Washington. I attended the University of California, Berkeley and received Masters in Social Work (MSW) and Public Health (MPH) and have had over 10 years of experience providing counseling to the medically sick, terminally ill, the bereaved, veterans and many others. I am experienced in and often use Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and I use a Humanistic approach that is Solution-Focused. These are techniques and approaches that you can Google to learn more about me but they alone may not tell you if you and I will work well together.
Beyond the technical trainings and skills, here is who I am.
I believe in therapy. I believe the statement that “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. Practicing therapy gives me the opportunity and joy of practicing caring in a professional and skilled way. The therapy outcomes research bears this out: Across all treatment approaches, the most important correlates of positive therapy outcomes are: 1. Therapist characteristics (empathy, warmth, genuineness) 2. Alliance between therapist and client 3. Adoption of new behaviors by client

Choosing a counselor can stir up many emotions – uncertainty, guarded hope, or questions about how an online profile translates into real therapeutic connection. Mark Yeung understands those mixed feelings and aims to make the process clearer and more approachable.
He is a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon and California and holds both a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley. With 12 years of clinical experience, he has provided counseling to people who are medically ill, terminally ill, bereaved, veterans, and many others.
Clinically, he often integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a humanistic, solution-focused framework. These evidence-informed methods describe part of his approach, but they do not fully capture how he works with each person.
Beyond techniques and training, he emphasizes the relational side of therapy. He holds the view expressed in the phrase “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care” and draws professional satisfaction from practicing care in skilled, compassionate ways. He also notes research findings that the strongest correlates of positive therapy outcomes are therapist characteristics such as empathy and warmth, the alliance between therapist and client, and the client’s adoption of new behaviors.
Prospective clients who feel this approach might fit are encouraged to reach out and see whether working together could be helpful.
