Hello and Nyob Zoo! My name is Pa Houa Yang and my story begins in Thailand where I was born. At the age of one, my family moved to Minnesota where I reside today. I graduated high school at Harding in 2021 and received my Bachelors of Social Work in May of 2024. I then started my Masters program but amidst it, made a pivotal decision. I dropped out of my grad program and started SHEhlub.

SHEhlub began as a little girl’s dream in 2015, an agency to give back to the community that raised her. Growing up, I witnessed the lasting impacts mental health had on my community, families, and individuals, including myself. My lived experiences along with the challenges of my community fueled my passion to advocate and create meaningful change thus began my dedication to school to become a therapist; SHEhlub then was just a lost idea. However, during my last undergrad year, I envisioned my future again and through different lived experiences since 2015, SHEhlub resurfaced almost 10 years later.

As the founder and owner of SHEhlub, I manage the administrative responsibilities and marketing. With a team alongside, SHEhlub is committed to becoming your therapy provider, offering services, support, and resources to you and your community. Take your first step and tell us your story. We’ll connect you with a licensed therapist and together, let us help you, help yourself.
