Nyob Zoo & Hello, I am Joua Yang.

Firstly, I am a daughter and mother. I love camping, hiking, and gardening. When I’m not outside in nature, I am in the kitchen cooking for my loved ones.

Secondly, I am a clinical social worker providing consultation and training, clinical supervision to trainees and individual and couples therapy. My personal and professional path has led me to work with sexuality, relationship issues, domestic violence, eating disorders, building self-worth, self-esteem, and trauma within an attachment-style lens. I am also trained in EMDR as an approach to address trauma.

My Approach

I seek to understand the world through relationships. Being authentic through all my interactions allows for me to use my identity and life story to build connections with others. I believe all people are innately good and kind. I have trust that all people can change, grow, and transform.
