Therapeutic orientation
Dr. Yeung specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescents and adults. She integrates nature-based therapy in clinical work when it may benefit her clients. From her own experiences in conducting nature-based therapy and related research work, she trusts the power of nature to restore attention, induce relaxation, and facilitate insight to counteract the maladaptive thoughts that underly many emotional and behavioral issues. When it is deemed beneficial to the client, she employs hypnotherapy to address personal dilemmas that exist at the unconscious level.
