Lauren A. Yang, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Mental Health Peer Advocate
Asian American Wellness Speaker
Welcome! I provide individual and group therapy for adults to improve their mental health, promote overall wellness, and foster a sense of well-being. Currently, I serve Kaiser Permanente Northern California members.
In addition, I support our community beyond the therapy room through outreach, advocacy, and mentorship. I am especially interested in transitional aged youth and young adults who are Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders.
As an Asian American woman with bipolar II disorder and clinical expertise, I speak on mental health education, leadership, and peer advocacy, especially for the AANPHI community in the face of stigma and marginalization.
My mission is to destigmatize mental health conditions, challenge barriers to mental health care, and advance greater diverse representation in the field of psychology.
