I'm Vida Yap, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate of EMPS Resilience Therapy, LLC.
EMPS refers to all parts of a person. That is one's emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual self. We collaborate together to build skills for the resilience of each.
I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families throughout Hawaii and Oregon, offering a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where healing can begin. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported as we work together toward greater hope, healing, and lasting change.
