about

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, yoga, gyms like equinox and mma gyms, and personal training and coaching environments. i began teaching yoga in 2007 and have sustained a focus on mindfulness and meditation since 2018.

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, studying or continuing to figure out a new sport.

steady state wellness

Steady State Wellness is the practice of building internal athleticism that stays responsive to change. using a well tuned internal radar and having the fitness of mind/body/energy to respond accordingly. we can experience all the human emotions without being controlled or derailed by them. we can weather storms without packing up, moving away or pretending like they’re not happening. life always changes and our work develops anchors to meet those changes with strength, clarity and grace. we are our own company through this whole ride of a human life… to take full executive ownership and to reside in our own authenticity is to be the best companion we can have.

insight matters and Awareness is important, but neither Are the finish line. Real change happens when the way you think, feel, move, and respond begins to align with the life you're trying to build.

I work with people who want a more intentional, sustainable way of navigating stress, relationships, health and life’s competing commitments. the goal isn’t perfection or constant optimization- it’s building a life that doesn’t depend on living in survival mode.

my approach is grounded in wellness and informed by 16 years of clinical experience. rather than focusing exclusively on symptoms or diagnoses, we work to strengthen awareness, build practical skills, develop sustainable habits and expand your capacity to adapt with greater intention.
