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’m pursuing 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 plan to 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 towork 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，我开始在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。
