Meet Yangyang

I grew up in China and have traveled across Europe and the U.S. I have a special interest in working with individuals facing relationship challenges—whether with family, friends, or romantic partners—who are seeking meaning and personal growth. I hold a Master’s in Art from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and a Master’s in Social Science from the London School of Economics. I’m currently a PsyD candidate. I was a relationship coach in London and am now a psychoanalyst in Boston. I enjoy psychodynamic talk therapy.
