Dr. Yuen loves living in Sacramento. For her, it has everything that she would want in a city without the downsides that tend to come with bigger metropolitan areas such as high parking and housing costs and gridlock traffic. Much of her free time is spent playing with her three cats, baking cookies and bread, trying new restaurants, or traveling. She has a personal passion for food, animals, and experiencing new things.

Angela Yuen, MD
Dr. Yuen is a Psychiatrist who specializes in depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. She believes that psychiatric treatment is multifaceted and that there is no single-approach-fits-all. She appreciates the idea of patients having not only access to medication management and psychotherapy but also the latest interventional psychiatric treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression.

More about Angela Yuen, MD
Dr. Angela Yuen has always been interested in the human brain and what makes people feel, think, and behave the way they do. During her undergraduate years, she majored in neurobiology with a focus on mind, brain, and behavior. Her favorite courses revolved around psychology, with one specific course being on the study of human emotions. She also had a physician mentor, who was a geriatric psychiatrist, and was able to shadow them as her interest in psychiatry grew. She applied to medical school with strong intentions towards a path to psychiatry.
Dr. Yuen has a warm and empathetic approach to her patient care. She is highly approachable, and her patients feel their concerns are truly heard. She feels privileged to have a career where she can make a difference in people’s lives. She works with the patient to create the best care plan that takes the patient’s priorities, goals, and wishes into consideration. She hopes her patients feel motivated, open to new ideas and approaches, and come with the realistic expectation that psychiatric treatment often takes a lot of time and trial of various medications and/or therapies before results can be appreciated.
Dr. Yuen sees TMS and Esketamine as great options for patients to consider when medication management and therapy alone do not provide adequate relief for depression. Patient testimonials speak to the efficacy of these interventional approaches, and she is excited to see how these treatments evolve and develop over time as accessibility to these modalities improves.
She joins Mindful Health Solutions in the Summer of 2021.
