Yung-Mei Leong

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a caring and empathic psychologist, licensed in Maryland, and have twenty years of diverse professional experiences in various settings, including eight years providing psychotherapy.

Areas of expertise include anxiety (including obsessive compulsive symptoms), depression, and problems with emotional or behavioral regulation that make it difficult to keep positive relationships or advance in one’s chosen field. I can also help you navigate major life changes or stressors with practical coping strategies, self-compassion, and perspective.

I create an open and safe environment where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. My therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral, based in identifying thoughts and beliefs that have not been serving you well. This allows us to target strategies toward empowering you to live a more fulfilling, authentic life.

It takes courage to take the first step toward positive change. I am here to support and guide you on that journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best – by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.

Each provider is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they want a different fit. This model makes it easier to find and work with a therapist who matches individual needs and preferences.
