Patrick Yang, LCSW

Adult Therapist | EMDR, Trauma, Anxiety & Identity Counseling in Northwest Arkansas

YOU. ARE. ENOUGH.

Sometimes life feels heavier than it should.

Anxiety keeps your mind racing. Shame convinces you that you're "too much" or "not enough." Trauma lingers long after the experience has ended. Depression steals your motivation, your confidence, and your connection to the people you care about.

You don't have to keep carrying it alone.

Patrick Yang is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) who provides counseling for adults (18+) throughout Northwest Arkansas. He specializes in helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, identity struggles, relationship challenges, and life transitions through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.

Patrick believes healing begins when people finally have a place where they can be completely themselves—without fear of judgment.

EMDR Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Emotional Healing

Past experiences don't have to continue controlling your present.

Patrick offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for trauma and distressing life experiences. EMDR helps the brain naturally process painful memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.

EMDR can be highly effective for individuals experiencing:

  • Trauma & PTSD

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Negative self-beliefs

  • Childhood trauma

  • Emotional distress following difficult life experiences

Healing doesn't mean forgetting your past—it means no longer feeling trapped by it.

Therapy for Anxiety, Depression & Identity

Life can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves.

Patrick works with adults experiencing:

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Depression

  • Trauma & PTSD

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship challenges

  • Substance use recovery

  • Low self-esteem

  • Shame and self-criticism

  • Identity exploration

  • Life transitions

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions or simply feeling stuck, Patrick helps clients better understand themselves while developing healthier ways of coping, connecting, and moving forward.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming & Inclusive Counseling

Everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, accepted, and respected.

Patrick is passionate about creating an affirming counseling environment for individuals navigating questions surrounding gender identity, sexual orientation, self-acceptance, and belonging. He believes therapy should be a space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences openly while building confidence and self-compassion.

Healing begins when you no longer feel like you have to hide who you are.

A Down-to-Earth, Authentic Approach to Therapy

Patrick believes therapy shouldn't feel cold or intimidating.

His approach is casual, honest, and collaborative. He combines empathy with gentle accountability, helping clients challenge unhelpful patterns while building practical skills that support lasting emotional wellness.

Patrick has experience working with individuals experiencing homelessness, prison reentry, substance use recovery, and complex trauma, giving him a deep appreciation for the resilience people carry through life's most difficult seasons.

His goal is simple: to help every client discover that healing is possible—and that they are already worthy of it.
