Caroline Yang, Psychiatrist
Offers morning appointments only. Dr. Yang has provided mental health care since 2014 and exclusively evaluates new children and adolescent patients. She is dedicated to creating a space where patients feel heard, respected and understood. She partners with parents to advocate for their child’s needs and make sure they have the support they need. Her approach focuses on the whole person, considering cultural identity and family situation while using evidence‑based therapy and, when needed, medication conservatively. Dr. Yang completes comprehensive evaluations over multiple sessions to provide accurate diagnoses and the best possible outcome. She prioritizes building trusting relationships with her patients and offers weekly therapy. Dr. Yang has special interest in self‑esteem, emotional sensitivity, emotional regulation, and navigating intergenerational experiences. She also cares deeply about social justice, respecting our environment, and education that promotes curiosity.
Dr. Yang is double board‑certified in General Psychiatry and the subspecialty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She completed her fellowship at Harbor–UCLA Medical Center. She graduated from Johns Hopkins University with dual majors in Psychology and Biology. She is certified in UCLA PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) and participated in the Parent Training Program at UCLA. Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Yang enjoys spending time with her rescue pets, dancing, appreciating wildlife, and exploring creative activities.
