As a Clinical Psychologist:

“Dr. Yen has been incredibly helpful and an encouragement in my journey. I had an incredible experience with the amount of time he put into helping me. Dr. Yen is very knowledgeable and also helped me a ton with encouraging me in my own spiritual journey as well. Always prompts to respond, and is thorough in his responses. This was my first experience with therapy and I would encourage anyone who is questioning if it's something for them to just give it a try because it's something I will forever cherish. I highly recommend Dr. Yen.”

I've been referring my patients to Dr. Timothy Yen for more than three years. As a Pediatrician, my families always ask me for recommendations for Child psychologists/therapists. It's often hard for them to take that first step to see a Mental Health provider. When I tell them how he's helped so many of my families, it makes it easier. The feedback I hear after they've seen Dr. Yen is always positive. He builds rapport easily with kids and their parents. I often send my most challenging families to Dr. Yen, because I know he'll take good care of them.

“After months of counseling for anxiety and depression for several months, I can definitely say I feel a lot better after working with Dr. Yen! This was an amazing place to come to when I really needed it, and I feel like I really learned a lot about myself and ways to cope with what I'm dealing with. He was remarkably patient and always had a solution to my problems---even if I was just coming back about the same thing multiple times. I'm very happy with how counseling went, and I can't recommenced him enough!”

I give Dr. Yen 5 stars! I had a situation with my child since he was a toddler with ADD and ODD combined. It is very difficult when you feel like everything you try is worthless and the people that has to work with your child like teachers, etc. think that you aren’t doing anything to solve the problem and they just judge. I was afraid of bringing my child to a specialist and my child just refused at first. Then one day we met Dr. Yen who is young, fun and clever. My child started begging me to bring him in. I was surprised how good he is at managing each patient, their necessities, and always has a positive suggestion to improve the patient’s life and how he interacts with others. I think experience and creative thinking distinguishes Dr. Yen. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Yen is wise, intuitive, insightful, and compassionate beyond words. As an elementary school teacher, I am faced with a myriad of challenges regarding children behavior and psychology. Dr. Yen has been a "go to" doctor for council and wisdom as I navigated children's behaviors in a classroom setting. When parents ask for references, I refer them to Dr. Yen, because I know they will be well taken care of emotionally, spiritually, mentally, psychologically, and physically.

- Esther Chen, Teacher at Bancroft Elementary School, Walnut Creek, CA.

As a Clinical Supervisor:

“I think Tim is probably one of the best supervisors I have had. He is incredibly supportive, funny, kind, and I really feel like he fully gets me and we are almost always on the same page. He challenges me in a way that feels like I am learning something about myself and how to always strive to be a better clinician. I definitely look up to him and feel like it is a really good match that he was assigned my supervisor.”
