About

Hi! I’m Dr. Yuna Seong, and I am a psychologist with training in school, clinical, and neuropsychology. I completed my PhD in School Psychology and am a post-doctoral fellow in Clinical and Neuropsychology.

I have worked across schools, clinics, and community programs, providing therapy and evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. I specialize in neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessment, executive functioning support, and trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.

I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including autistic youth, ADHDers, and students with learning disabilities, and I am committed to helping each client build resilience, confidence, and self-advocacy.

My research background in social-emotional learning, trauma interventions, and equity informs my practice, ensuring that my care is both evidence-based and individualized. Outside of work, I enjoy drawing, painting, crafting, baking, and caring for my plants.
