This week, we’re excited to introduce Fabiola Yun, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric nurse practitioner whose approach blends compassion and a person-centered approach. Fabiola works closely with patients to develop plans that honor who they are and what they envision for their lives. Keep reading to learn how she helps patients reconnect with who they are.
Specialty & Approach to Therapy
Fabiola specializes in psychiatry and mental health, with a focus on helping individuals understand their emotional, psychological, and social well-being. For her, therapy is more than symptom relief — it’s a process of discovering your values, strengthening your sense of identity, and becoming increasingly comfortable in your own skin.
“My approach is person-centered,” she explains. She helps patients slow down, reflect, and understand themselves on a deeper level, building insight that supports healing, growth, and self-acceptance. “I see patients as the experts in their own lives. My role is to ask thoughtful questions that help them identify what truly matters and explore their values with clarity and compassion.”
Advice To Those Seeking Therapy
Fabiola knows that beginning therapy can feel intimidating — and she wants clients to know that uncertainty is completely normal.
“Don’t be afraid,” she says. “We all go through this process. Allow yourself to show up as you are, and surround yourself with people who feel supportive.”
She encourages clients to approach the first session with openness and a willingness to learn about themselves. “Be patient with yourself and with your provider,” she says. “Give the process the time it deserves.”
She encourages people to explore their options and trust their instincts when it comes to finding a provider who makes them feel safe and respected. If something feels off, it’s okay to keep looking — or simply allow more time to build connection. “Waiting, exploring, and reflecting are all part of finding the right fit.”
Finding Balance Through Self-Care
Fabiola’s self-care is deeply rooted in nourishment. Above all, she protects her sleep routine and makes time to cook herself hot, fresh meals. “Sleep and food have healing powers,” she says, and she treats them as essential parts of wellbeing rather than afterthoughts.
She also surrounds herself with warm, supportive people who help her stay grounded and maintain longevity in her work. Reflection is another key part of her routine: “I often ask myself what will matter to me when my time on earth runs out.” This question, she shares, keeps her aligned with her values and the life she wants to live.
Thoughtful, steady, and rooted in person-centered care, Fabiola helps patients approach healing with patience, curiosity, and compassion. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, providers like Fabiola are here to support your journey. Reach out to Rivia Mind today to get started.
