Christina yang, nbc-hwc, lcsw

i hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree from New York University. i am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and board-certified through the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).

after becoming licensed as a psychotherapist and clinical social worker, i worked across a range of settings including outpatient mental health clinics, hospitals, long-term care, hospice, veteran services, integrative care systems, and digital coaching and therapy platforms before establishing my private practice.

movement and fitness

alongside my clinical work, i spent over a decade in movement and fitness spaces, including martial arts gyms, yoga studios, equinox, and personal training and coaching environments. i began teaching yoga in 2007 and have maintained a consistent focus on mindfulness and meditation since 2018. this background shapes my work in a very practical way: we can change our relationship to thoughts, emotions, and habits through practice, not just insight.

lectures and teachings

i’ve also guest lectured at New York University and taught on topics such as mental health in integrative care, hospice and end-of-life support, mindfulness as a foundation for resilience, and building emotional and mental athleticism in high-demand environments.

outside of work…

outside of work, i’m usually with my dog or doing something that keeps me adaptable and engaged— flying, lifting weights or learning sports i’m still figuring out.
