Inner Journey Psychology, Inc.
Dr. MJ Yang is a licensed clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, and feminist committed to empowering women through psychological healing and personal transformation. As the founder of Inner Journey Psychology, Inc., she helps high-achieving professionals, immigrants, and women entrepreneurs navigate identity, career transitions, leadership challenges, and intergenerational trauma.
Her journey as a healer began in 2003 as a paraprofessional counselor for youth at Teacher Chang, Taiwan’s largest community counseling center. She earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology from National Taiwan University, graduating magna cum laude in both programs. After becoming a licensed clinical psychologist in Taiwan in 2009, she worked as a clinician and supervisor at National Taiwan University Hospital for six years. Seeking to expand her expertise and challenge patriarchal norms in mental health, she moved to the U.S. to earn her Doctor of Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) at John F. Kennedy University.
Her clinical training spans schools, hospitals, community mental health centers, and primary care settings. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at California Pacific Medical Center and her postdoctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente in Santa Clara.
Dr. Yang obtained her California license in 2021, launched her private practice in 2022, and founded Inner Journey Psychology, Inc. in 2024. As a feminist psychologist, she challenges societal expectations placed on women, helping clients break free from limiting beliefs, redefine success on their own terms, and cultivate relationships and careers rooted in self-worth and autonomy.
