About Yellow Chair Collective:

Yellow Chair Collective is a psychotherapist group with a special focus on Asian and Asian American identity serving across the US. Asian Americans and the multicultural population struggle with unique pain points. Much of what Asian American and multicultural therapy identifies as intergenerational trauma or racial discrimination has been neglected and dismissed throughout American history. As a Collective, we are dedicated to bridging cultural identity as a huge part of everyone’s mental struggles.
