About Yvonne Lu, MD

Yvonne Lu, MD, is a board-certified adult psychiatrist at Adelpha Psychiatric Group in Pasadena, California. She offers comprehensive, compassionate care across a wide range of mental health concerns and strives to cultivate a warm, open space for growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

As a first-generation Los Angeles native, Dr. Lu developed an early interest in how cultural, societal, and systemic influences shape emotional well-being. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Duke University with a degree in Neuroscience and minors in Medical Sociology and Chemistry.

Dr. Lu earned her medical degree from the University of California, Irvine, where she was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. During this time, she served vulnerable populations through student-run free clinics and provided music therapy in hospice and nursing homes – experiences that solidified her appreciation for the mind-body connection.

She completed her psychiatry residency at USC / Los Angeles General Medical Center, one of the largest public safety-net hospitals on the West Coast. There, she served as Chief Resident of the Integrated Care Services, providing psychiatric care across several primary care clinics, including geriatrics, OBGYN, internal medicine, and pediatrics. She also received specialized training in student mental health on USC’s undergraduate campus.

Dr. Lu treats a broad spectrum of conditions, including mood, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and psychosis, using a personalized combination of psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions. She has a special interest in trauma-informed care, particularly in relational trauma, attachment wounds, and inner child healing.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and grounded in psychodynamic therapy, for which she pursued advanced training through an additional two-year Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program with the New Center for Psychoanalysis. She also incorporates Internal Family Systems, interpersonal psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Dr. Lu enjoys drawing on mindfulness, spirituality (including Buddhist psychology), and cultural humility to support each person’s unique path to healing.

“I have been working in residential care for 15 years and I have never met such a caring, knowledgeable and personable psychiatrist. Dr. Sal sees all the youth at our residential facility, the youth are 12-21 years old and it’s very difficult to build rapport with them, but Dr. Sal was able to feel the youth safe and cared for enough for them to trust him and share their needs. He never rushes appointments and he never pushes meds. The entire team is amazing! I am so grateful for their help!”
