Dr. Erin Yosai

Every psychologist views their work through a particular lens. Mine has been shaped by years of listening to families, students, and educators empathizing, problem-solving, and advocacy when learning and life gets tough for students. My beliefs and values:

​

• We all have unique strengths and difficulties that impact our everyday physical, mental, and social emotional health. 

​

• Life is not black and white. Many of the struggles people experience begin to make sense when we look at the whole picture rather than a single label or moment in time.

  • In order to best understand & educate, treat, or parent our kids (it takes a village, after all!), you have to value diverse backgrounds and identities and how they impact how people experience life. 

 

Our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are interconnected systems that influence mental health, learning, and relationships.

​

• Understanding our own unique connections helps us move beyond labels and toward deeper insight, understanding, and growth.

• Learning and practicing tiny tools rooted in positive psychology, resilience, and regulation together, we are making huge impacts our mental health.

​

• When people begin to understand themselves or the children in their lives more clearly, it often becomes the first step toward meaningful change.
