Do you see your life as a journey? If you are like me, coming from one culture and living in another, then you know something about cultural journeys. However, there are also cultural journeys that are invisible. If you are a stranger in your own culture—someone who is outside looking-in or inside looking-out— you will know the distances that you travel, just being yourself and still being with others. We are all a culture-of-one, but some of us are a little farther out than that, and we juggle the values. How can you make your position in life meaningful?

My Psychotherapist career of 30+ years has consisted of working with Children, Parents, Teens, and Adults to address various mental health issues and help individuals become the best version of themselves. Children learn, grow, and heal best through play. I provide children with the opportunity to engage in this important work through play therapy sessions. Parenting is one of the most important jobs a person can have and at times one of the hardest. I provide parents with the support and encouragement they need to be successful in parenting. Today’s world provides many challenges for teens.

Hello, my name is Tess Kim, and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor. I was born and raised in S. Korea and immigrated to US at the age of 18 years old. I understand changes can be challenging, and difficult experiences in life can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of direction, it can be hard to know what to do. With compassion and knowledge, I will support you to work through issues while identifying your inner strengths to be a happier and healthier version of you. I describe myself as compassionate and understanding. I look forward to taking the journey of healing with you.

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, no matter where you come from. "Keeping things in" or "keeping your thoughts to yourself" is a dangerous path to walk alone. We get lost and lead astray by distracting uncomfortable thoughts; we know better than to be fooled by them but words hurt and emotions are messy and uncomfortable. Words are powerful and they're not easy to deal with, but having someone to talk to and be your authentic and true self can help find where you need to go and make your journey less scary.

My clients bring in a range of issues and have varying ideas of what they would like to change about themselves and/or their lives -- but they all have one thing in common, and that is motivation for change. Therapy can, and should, be a place for self-reflection and self-improvement and I am here to support that process. While a lot of my experience has been with children/adolescents and mood disorders, I approach every client with an open mind and heart, and strive to always create a safe and inviting space.

Knowing there are times in life where emotional pain, confusion or stress can bring you to a standstill, my aim is to help you untangle roadblocks that can affect your daily life, how you feel about yourself, and that might disrupt your relationships with others. Together we will find ways to navigate difficult situations and challenges to alleviate emotional distress and suffering, to cope with isolation and loneliness, and to bring hope and purpose back into your life. As a gay person of color, I honor your unique individuality as well as all diverse rich backgrounds to bring about greater empowerment and satisfaction in life.

Perhaps you knew what you wanted life to be, but now dreaming of something better is a foreign idea. You’ve been successful yet still feel unfulfilled. Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Maybe you know you’d be happier if you made changes but you don't have the time. Your life isn't really all that bad and you think you should be grateful for all you have. Instead you're just a tad disgusted with yourself. On top of that, if you're in a relationship, you just want out of it and into something new, but the idea of hurting your partner in the process keeps you from doing something different.

Are you ready to make some changes in your life, but you're not sure where to start? Do you feel alone in your journey to make sense of who you are, who you have been, and who you want to become? Many of us awaken to an awareness that our lives aren't fulfilling us the way that we had always hoped or dreamed of, but we're not sure how to make the changes that we seek or feel overwhelmed at the thought. Together, we will take immediate steps to get you on the path to feeling better.

Life is full of challenges. Sometimes those challenges are temporary and sometimes they seem to hold on. We experience, distress, depression, anxiety, and sometimes emotional and/or physical trauma.

I have a lot of compassion for people going through life’s challenges and transitions, and feel privileged to work with those who are seeking support. I work with adults struggling with a broad range of issues, from depression and anxiety to self-esteem and trauma-related disorders. As a psychodynamic therapist, I believe that our earliest childhood experiences shape our actions and beliefs about the world. I have experience working with adolescents and adults.

Dreams and the unconscious hold symbols that assist in the healing process for depression, anxiety, and addictions. As a Jungian clinical counselor, I use these tools to help you establish a connection between consciousness and the higher Self. The Self then becomes a strong core from which we can operate in a healed and healthy manner. We are no longer driven by unconscious complexes and desires, but make conscious decisions that support life and its many expressions.

Friends and family aren't always the best place to turn when life gets difficult. That's where we come in. No matter what might be going on in your life, call us and we'll connect you to a caring mental health provider. Or if you'd prefer, fill out our Client Contact Form on our website, and one of our staff will contact you by the end of the next business day.
