More About Mana Yang
Clinical Interests:
In my previous role as a job coach until January I supported individuals with disabilities in building independence daily living skills and employment readiness. I provided individualized goal oriented support focused on skill development problem solving and removing barriers to success. This experience aligns closely with the ARHMS model and has strengthened my interest in providing rehabilitative mental health services that empower individuals promote self determination and support long term stability and improved quality of life.
Clinical Approach:
I use a cognitive behavioral approach to help individuals recognize the connection between their thoughts feelings and behaviors. I support clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing healthier coping and problem solving strategies that align with their goals. I use a skills based rehabilitation approach by teaching and practicing practical life skills such as emotional regulation communication stress management daily routines and independent living skills. I focus on repetition modeling and real life application to help clients build confidence and consistency. I take a strengths based approach by focusing on what individuals already do well. I highlight abilities resilience and past successes to increase motivation self confidence and engagement in services. I follow a person centered approach by ensuring services are guided by the individual goals preferences and values. I support active participation in planning and decision making to promote self determination and meaningful progress.
Hobbies:
I am currently going back to school for my masters in educational leadership, however I am always intentional about personal growth and self awareness and I actively seek positive experiences that help strengthen my skills resilience and perspectives in life. During my time off I enjoy to go for walks with my family along with getting in a session of volleyball and or pickleball with friends.
