I was seeking a therapist, counselor, psychologist (not sure you call them to be honest, they just help) 🙂 around the Pleasanton/Dublin and I wanted to make sure they were patient, listening, showing empathy and compassion. Dr. Yen did just that. My family was having some challenging family dynamics and he was able to main my high regard and setup the next steps towards a thriving family.
Dr. Yen has been the primary clinician working with my son. Through his transparency and honesty my son and I have developed a trusting bond. Dr. Yen possess a unique ability to connect with individuals on their level. His approach to therapy made him a perfect fit for my son and I. As a parent it was helpful that he possessed the ability to highlight both the desires of my son and myself. Dr. Yen helped us find peace and helped us to rebuild a damaged relationship. I recommend Dr. Yen to all who seek support, guidance, and understanding of all relationships in life.
I have nothing but great things to say about having Tim as my therapist. As a female, I was hesitant to work with a male psychologist but I'm glad that I took the chance to do so. Tim is unlike any therapist I have worked with. He is more relatable and someone who is easy to talk to. He has a more outgoing personality and doesn't just listen. Having a therapist who just listens works well when needed, but I was looking for someone who would push me to think differently and challenge me to make changes and grow as a person. Tim gave me homework and always had ideas on how I could try to change or look at things differently. He has great insight, is kind and is organized in terms of scheduling, email responses, sending superbills etc. I recommend Tim to those looking to make a positive change in their lives. Thanks Tim!
Dr. Yen is wise, intuitive, insightful, and compassionate beyond words. As an elementary school teacher, I am faced with a myriad of challenges regarding children behavior and psychology. Dr. Yen has been a "go to" doctor for council and wisdom as I navigated children's behaviors in a classroom setting. When parents ask for references, I refer them to Dr. Yen, because I know they will be well taken care of emotionally, spiritually, mentally, psychologically, and physically.
I had a lifesaving experience with Tim. We met so many different counselors before for my son but none of them was working but he treated my son like a brother with great counselling, and he got so much better within a year. Now he has stopped taking depression medicine and almost back to normal life. If you have a child with depression, I highly recommend him.
