Heejin Yun(She/Her/Hers)

Heejin Yun is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Provisionally Registered Art Therapist who founded Yun Way Counseling LLC to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and significant life transitions. She specializes in addressing internal struggles with perfectionism, immigration, life changes, multicultural issues, and generational trauma. Her practice is a dedicated space for anyone feeling the weight of external expectations and looking for a path toward sustainable healing.

Her approach focuses on "unmasking"—the process of letting go of "shoulds" to find your authentic voice. As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Korean, Heejin deeply understands the pressures of "saving face," family loyalties, and the sacrifices of immigrant parents. By blending traditional talk therapy with Art Therapy, she provides a creative way to process deep-seated emotions that are often hard to put into words, ensuring that each individual's story is heard in a way that feels most natural.

Heejin earned her Master’s from The George Washington University and has experience in hospitals and intensive outpatient programs. This clinical foundation allows her to offer both warm compassion and the clear structure needed for real growth. Whether she is supporting a neurodiverse brain or helping a client move through a major life crisis, her goal is to provide the steady support necessary to move beyond survival and toward lasting clarity.

Yun Way Counseling is a 100% telehealth practice, offering secure and flexible care to residents throughout the state of Virginia. Heejin is currently an in-network provider with Aetna, Medicare Part B, and CareFirst, ensuring that quality care is accessible through major insurance. She also proudly partners with the Open Path Collective to provide reduced-fee slots for underinsured individuals, committed to ensuring every client feels truly seen and heard in the language and culture that feels most like home.
