Ying (Hailey) Yu, M.S.

With twenty years of work experience in Fortune 500 and start-up companies, I have gained great experience helping people with their career development and professional growth. I have also served as a peer counselor in a non-profit organization to support people with career struggles. Passionate about assisting people in their growth, I obtained my second Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. 

Born and raised in China, studied, and worked in the United States and China, I developed deep insight into both Eastern and Western cultures and bilingual skills. I incorporate the essence of both cultures to provide culturally aligned and language-compatible counseling to you. If you feel depressed, anxious, stressed, or stuck in life, I am here with you. Let’s work together as a team to face all the challenges.

Challenges are the beginning of growth. Chinese write the word “crisis” with two characters: one stands for danger, the other for opportunity. With a belief in strength-based therapy, I hope to work with you collaboratively and creatively. That is, we will focus on the opportunity rather than the danger. As a team, we can help you move from a painful state to comfort and resilience, where you can flourish and become the best version of yourself.

我曾经有20余年的工作经验，从世界500强，到初创公司，从民营企业到互联网企业，在帮助个人的职业发展和成长方面，我积累了很多经验。我也曾经在非盈利组织当过职场咨询师，帮助那些在事业上遇到困惑和挣扎的人。怀着一颗助人的热忱之心，我获得西北大学攻读临床心理健康咨询专业的第二个硕士学位。

我在中国出生和长大，在美国和中国学习和工作，培养了对东西方文化的深刻洞察力和双语能力。我希望能结合东西文化的精髓，为来自亚太地区和其他地区的客户提供文化和语言兼容的咨询服务。无论你感觉抑郁、焦虑，还是压力过大，难以前行，我会与你一起应对这些挑战。

挑战是成长的开始。“危机” 这个词，左边是危机，右边是转机。让我们一起看见并相信你所拥有的力量，帮助你化危机为转机，走出痛苦，回归平静，找到内心的力量，成为更好的自己。
