About Dr. Amy J Yang
I have several areas of experience and interest, including stress related to schools, relocation and immigration issues, as well as identity as related to our place in society. I also focus on mind-body connections and mental health issues related to physical or medical issues. I work with substance and behavioral addictions through my close affiliation with Working Sobriety. I love working with students, trainees, as well as those in the education and medical/mental health professions.
In my time outside of psychiatry and clinical practice, I play the piano.
In addition, I enjoy hiking and outdoor travels.
