"We are called to be in relationship, but many people struggle with intimacy. We want to get close, but may fear that we will be required to compromise ourselves to get what we want and need. Whether your struggle is due to family patterns, trauma you've experienced, depression, anxiety, addiction, or personality issues, you need someone who understands your longings as well as your fears. I can partner with you, helping you to be authentically yourself while building nurturing, two-way connections with safe people. I'll also help you learn to protect yourself from those who are not."

"I help Christian men and women succeed in their lives and relationships. I especially understand how men think and what they need. A man's boyhood wounds from divorce, traumas, father, mother or peers can later interfere with his marriage and intimacy with women. I am a seasoned therapist with 30 years of experience in helping men and couples recover from the past and succeed in marriage with their wives in better communication, less fighting, more trust, and more sexual intimacy. I also co-authored the book, What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew about Sex: A Guide for Christian Men. Give me a call to start your better life now."

"I believe that our lives are built on relationships. Be it between parent and child, partner and partner, supervisor and employee, or peer and peer, relationships can be healing and rewarding, but they can also be painful and difficult. We all know the stress and heartache that can come from a relationship in distress and we all know that desperate, painful feeling of wanting relief. Helping people find their way through these difficulties and back to each other is one of the most rewarding and exciting things I do. I specialize in helping families connect and thrive."

"You are reaching out because things don't feel right and you don't feel good. Do you struggle with irritability or sadness? Maybe you have a trauma history that could be impacting your relationships, health or parenting? I can assist you in making connections between past experiences and current behaviors. I believe in the healing power of relationship and connection. So often we struggle because of barriers that inhibit successful relationships with our children, parents, partner or peers. I can help you to see where the barriers and unsuccessful behaviors come from to be able to make lasting and positive change."

"Promoting growth and change in children, adolescents, and families, I provide individual and family therapy, consultations with schools and parents, group therapy, and assessment / testing. I work primarily with clients experiencing attention problems, behavior difficulties, disturbances in mood, or conflict with family members."

"Everyone has a story to tell that deserves to be heard. Through partnering with you at a safe and respectful pace, my desire is to assist with integrating the complexity of your past, the reality of your present, and the potential of your future. From the first session, my commitment to my clients is to walk closely alongside them as they seek to know themselves better. I can journey with you as you process life’s struggles, learn communication and self-regulation skills in your relationships, and become aware of relational patterns learned in childhood."

"You're here for a reason. Perhaps, you've undergone trauma, both in the big sense or little sense, and maybe it just happened or it happened long ago. Your relationships aren't working because you're working so hard to make sure that you're not traumatized again. Now you're stuck. Maybe you and your significant other are in a difficult place, and you can't find resolution. In fact, you can't even talk to each other."

"I currently practice in Pasadena, California. I also work at a state psychiatric facility serving the severely mentally ill and legally committed. As I'm originally from South Korea, cultural sensitivity is of importance. My view of human condition stems from a Zen concept of "suffering" and "transience of life." I believe that suffering is an inescapable human condition and yet a basis for growth. However, without inner strength, we may feel defeated by life challenges and erroneously think suffering will never end. I see my role as a guide to help you broaden your perspective and get you mobilized."

"I am a bilingual (English/Armenian) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in an array of settings from school principal, community mental health, and volunteering in non-profit organizations. I utilize Client Centered approach with empathetic listening and creating an atmosphere in which my clients feel safe to express their feelings with certainty and that they are being understood rather than judged. I also focus on facilitating self-discovery, self-acceptance, and provide means toward healing and positive growth."

"The most fascinating and important part of my job as a therapist is how to have a really good conversation. It may sound too simple, but it cuts to the heart of what to expect from therapy. Through good conversation, you experience connection and understanding. When we are understood, difficult feelings change with resulting freedoms to engage life. Trained both as a Marriage and Family therapist and a psychoanalyst, I work with complex relationship issues, divorce and blended families, depression, anxiety, addictions, men's issues, and sexual trauma recovery, and integration of psychology and faith/spirituality."

"I believe that everyone deserves a chance at happiness and healing and if I can be of any help in that process, directly or indirectly, I want to be. Over the years I have been in awe of the courage of my clients and their willingness to fight for their healing and happiness. The past cannot be changed, but our relationship to it can. My goal is to assist in allowing your past to be part of your story & not let the past dictate your future so you can live in the present"

"Everyone seeks the feeling of being understood and accepted, but sometimes we become comfortable with being unhappy. As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy, support, safety, and cultural sensitivity. I will assist in helping you work through various issues to achieve a more productive approach to the way you think, make decisions, and relate to others. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and I strive to create an environment that allows for authenticity, support, and trust between us. "

"*LGBTQ+ affirmative* Are you afraid to speak up or be your true self for fear of what others will say or do? Do you wish your family communicated more effectively, your kids would respect you and your rules, or you could get your teen to open up to you? Do you constantly give to others to the point of exhaustion or until you snap and wonder when it’s your turn to receive? If any of these scenarios fit your current struggles, I can help. When you reclaim your true voice and begin to use it thoughtfully and purposefully, you can lead a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life. "

"I work with individuals and families on bringing healing and transformation to their life.

"As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have served clients of all ages, in all life stages, and of various backgrounds. My therapeutic abilities have been honed and fine-tuned by solid training, my own emotional work, and from walking with those who have allowed me into their sacred process of growth for the last 22 years."

"I am passionate about providing a safe space for my clients to process and talk about the negative and positive experiences that life brings their way. It is my focus to help my clients achieve their life goals, cultivate a meaningful life, improve their quality of life, find their voice, better their self-esteem, and get in touch with their inner self. By navigating unconscious and conscious principles, my clients are able to better understand themselves and their role in their relationships with others. "

"I have over a decade of training and experience providing therapy to children, adolescences and adults. I believe that people have a great deal of resiliancy and strength and that there are times in our lives that we need help to uncover and remember how strong we are. I work with people to uncover their own strengths to help themselves out of any situation that arises in their lives. I have a great deal of experience in treating trauma related disorder such as depression and anxiety."

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and I have been in this field for the past 20 years. I have worked with clients of all ages and from all walks of life. My special interest is in working with trauma. I am trained in Brainspotting and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM). I also spent 12 years working in a hospital intensive outpatient program for the chronically mentally ill adults and seniors, who taught me a lot about having compassion for those who are suffering, and to find beauty, hope and strength in each person. I am now in full-time private practice and I love what I do. "

"Are you a survivor of trauma? If so, you may be experiencing residual cognitive, behavioral, psychological, physiological, and emotional signs or symptoms. They can be subtle, obvious, and/or debilitating - lasting weeks, months, or even years. Recovering from trauma takes time and everyone heals at their own pace. Working through trauma can be scary and painful, but you do not have to go through the process alone. I am a compassionate, empathetic, and patient trauma clinician, committed to building a trusting professional relationship with you. Together we will work to lessen the hold trauma has on your life and help you heal."

"Are you concerned that your child or teen may have ADHD, dyslexia, or autism? Did your child recently have a concussion and is now struggling with paying attention, memory, and keeping up at school? Do they need accommodations such as extended time for the SAT, ACT, or other high stakes tests? If so, your child would benefit from a neuropsychological evaluation, which can help you better understand how they learn best, the likely neurodevelopmental, medical, or psychological explanations to your concerns, and what types of educational and treatment plans would capitalize on your child's strengths and improve their difficulties."
