About Hana Yin
Hana Yin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with 16 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She prioritizes an affirming and welcoming space where individuals and families can explore their experiences, strengthen relationships, and pursue personal growth.
Her clinical work spans many concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse recovery, ADHD, addictions, family and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger management, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with LGBTQ clients and with issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and blended family dynamics.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, she is board certified in biohacking neurofeedback, a form of brain-training used to support high-functioning autism and to assist clients interested in peak performance and competitive athletics. Her approach is deeply person-centered and somato-sensory focused, blending evidence-based methods with trauma-informed care to meet each person where they are.
Hana Yin aims to walk alongside clients with empathy, respect, and practical guidance, helping them build self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful pathways toward healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Hana Yin
Hana Yin integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can be helpful for relationship struggles, intimacy issues, and healing from abandonment or adoption-related wounds. She also draws on client-centered principles, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person’s experience and pacing.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Hana Yin works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Hana Yin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or different communication preferences. These options make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into daily life.
