a little About Fonda
Fonda Yeh
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor
Psychotherapist
As a second-generation Chinese American, I grew up hearing my dad’s stories of escaping Vietnam, surviving in a refugee camp, and working tirelessly to build a life for his family of fifteen in the U.S. My mom’s journey immigrating from China carried its own weight. Their struggles shaped my upbringing in ways that were both spoken and unspoken—through their sacrifices, resilience, and the lingering effects of trauma they carried with them.
When I started my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University, I knew I wanted to support people with experiences like my own—individuals from BIPOC, immigrant, and families impacted by migration looking for a therapist who has also lived with the complexities of navigating multiple cultures and the often invisible challenges within immigrant families.
Our cultural backgrounds are central to how we understand ourselves and the world around us. I’m committed to creating a space where all parts of you are seen, valued, and explored—whether that’s your family culture, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or any other part of you or who you might be. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and genuine. Therapy doesn’t have to be rigid or intimidating—it can include humor, creativity, and even moments of lightness. I believe healing is a deeply personal process, and I work to meet you where you are.
Many people like to ask about frameworks - I use person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral theories within an intersectional framework that honors all aspects of your identity. I also integrate somatic practices, recognizing the profound connection between the mind and body. I’m especially passionate about working with BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and refugees.
Outside of therapy, I’m usually immersed in my latest passion project—currently binging Chinese dramas or horror movies while working on diamond painting, crafting book nooks, or cross-stitching. I also love weightlifting, hosting themed dinner parties, and planning itineraries to explore Southern California with my husband.
Welcoming new clients through telehealth as of Nov. 2024. Currently offering evenings or Sunday morning sessions.
