Ziyan (Jane) Yin, MSMFT (She/Her)

Staff Therapist

I care deeply about creating a space where people from historically marginalized communities feel seen, heard, and empowered to show up as their authentic selves.

I work with adults navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationships in all their forms. I'm especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, immigrants, international students, and anyone navigating cross-cultural identities.

Growing up in China and later living, studying, and working across different countries has shown me how deeply identity, culture, and belonging shape our lives. As a first-generation immigrant, queer, and bilingual clinician, I am reminded by these experiences to stay curious, humble, and intentional in creating a space where you can feel seen and understood.

My approach is integrative, collaborative, relational, and tailored to who you are. I value the connection between mind and body, believing that our bodies sometimes hold stories long before we've found the words for them. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I'm interested in understanding the experiences, relationships, and strengths that have shaped you.

*以下为我的中文简介
开始寻找心理咨询,或许满怀期待,或许举步维艰,也或许只是隐隐觉得,生活好像和自己期待的不太一样。无论是什么把你带到这里,你都不需要先把一切想清楚,我们可以从你现在所在的地方开始。
我主要与成人工作,陪伴来访者面对人生转型、创伤、焦虑、抑郁,以及各种形式的关系。我尤其关注 LGBTQIA+ 社群、移民、国际学生,以及正在不同文化之间探索身份、寻找归属感的来访者。我希望为那些曾经觉得自己不被理解、不容易被看见的人,创造一个能够被尊重、被倾听,并安心做自己的空间。
成为治疗师之前,我曾在商业领域工作多年,也曾在不同国家学习、工作与生活。从中国到美国,这一路的跨文化经历,以及作为一名酷儿女性、一代移民的身份,让我更加体会到身份、文化与归属感如何塑造我们理解自己、与他人建立连接,以及看待世界的方式。我不会预设你的故事,却始终希望带着好奇、谦逊与尊重,认真倾听每一位来到咨询室的人。
我采用整合取向的工作方式,比起急着寻找「问题」或套用某一种治疗模式,我更希望和你一起理解那些塑造你的生命经验、关系,以及内在的力量。我也相信,身体往往比语言更早知道答案,因此会邀请你一起关注身体与情绪之间的连接,重新认识自己,而不是继续责备自己。
我常常把咨询想象成一次山间徒步。你始终是最了解自己人生的人,所以我不会站在前面告诉你该往哪里走,而是希望与你同行,在路况崎岖或方向不明时,陪你一起寻找属于自己的步伐。前面的路依然属于你,只是你不用一个人走。

Jane目前在伊利诺伊州提供心理治疗服务,并可面向所有地区提供线上coaching服务。
