Marriage Counseling Therapists in Buena Park, CA

My goal is to guide people restore their self-esteem as a competent individual, build a healthy relationship with others, especially with their spouse and children, and promote lasting change that brings them to feel loved, capable, and alive. It may be a long journey, but by the end of the journey I have seen people moving away from unhealthy vicious cycle of the past and creating more desirable relationships with each other.

My therapy sessions are conducted over the phone! It is so easy to get stuck in our past or lost in the future and we forget to be mindful of what is going on in the present. Our past can shape who we are and how we perceive our lives today and this can easily get us caught up in a vicious cycle of various emotional and mental struggles. The importance of rebuilding a relationship with ourselves is a critical component in life and can provide a different outlook to mood, behavioral and personality disorders. Let us never underestimate the power that we hold within ourselves!

Life is a journey, and sometimes it can get rocky. My job is to help you find the right path and enjoy the journey. I work with people struggling with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and chronic pain/illness.

My name is Mikyong Kim-Goh. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and university professor with 30 years of clinical training, consultation, and practice experience with multicultural population groups. My areas of specialty include intergenerational conflicts in immigrant families, relationship issues, depression, trauma, and intercultural issues.

In my therapeutic practice, I embrace a person-centered philosophy.

I am a down-to-earth person. I provide unconditional positive regard and validate how downright difficult life can be.

I teach tangible skills from a proven method and guide clients into understanding their emotions in relationship to their thoughts and behaviors and to feel back in control again. I build trust and rapport and am just a real person passionate about helping people manage uncertainty.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over ten years. I have been on a life journey that will continue forever because we never stop creating a greater, more powerful self. Why would we do that? It feels encapsulating to be struck in a box of epic proportions feeling there is no door opening to the best of you! We live in a world that lives in denial of its truths. The truth helps you begin to walk on the journey of healing.

심리상담치료를 받는다는 것이 한국 문화에서는 편안하거나 보편화 된 것은 아닐겁니다. 하지만, 내 자신이나, 가족, 나의 자녀, 혹은 나의 친구나 동료가 스트레스, 인간관계, 아이들 훈육문제, 혹은 가족이나 부부관계의 문제로 괴로와하고 있다면, 심리상담치료를 받을 수 있게 도와주세요. 삶이 생각보다, 지금보다는 훨씬 덜 힘들어 지는 순간을 맞이할 수 있을 것이라 믿습니다. 심리상담치료사와의 신뢰와 서로 이해할 수 있는 인간관계가 심리상담치료의 바탕이 되기 때문에 첫 세션을 통해, 저와 상담치료를 계속할 지 아니면 더 맞는 상담치료사를 찾을지, 본인의 문제가 어느정도 심각성을 가지고 있는지, 상담 치료 기간, 치료 방향에 대해 함께 고민하는 시간을 가지시고 상담치료 여부를 결정하시기 바랍니다. 전화나 이메일로 세션 시간을 예약해 주세요. 예약된 세션만 가능합니다. 첫번째 세션은 비용을 받지 않고 제공됩니다.

Are you an adult child of immigrants who struggles with setting boundaries with your parents, family, friends, and/or partner? Maybe you're used to being the fixer, caregiver, co-parent, and all around problem solver for your family. Does the idea of saying "no" make you feel guilty? Perhaps you've never really put yourself first because the idea of choosing yourself over others is unthinkable. Do you feel a constant battle between your head and your heart? It's hard not to feel stuck when you're unable to move forward on the path you really want for yourself or when you don't even know what you want and need.

You are in search of healing for your soul. Perhaps life is far from what you imagined it would be, and you need help finding yourself again. Heartbreaking life events have left you questioning who you are, what you value. You've tried numbing or distracting yourself from your pain, avoiding thinking about it, and outright denying it exists, yet none of it has worked. You feel ready to try something different. My clients often value self-growth, truth, insight, and are deep thinkers. They are looking for someone to walk with them and help them reckon with the fearful, unknown parts of themselves and desire to become whole.

You put up a good front but on the inside you feel like you're falling apart. You're reactive, disengaged and spiraling in your head. You've tried on your own but you need more support and that's okay. We aren't meant to bear things alone. Let me come along aside you as you work through your current stressors, heal from past traumas, explore your family of origin and address any attachment wounds. I know therapy can seem intimidating, especially if you have dismissive parents, internalized shame/guilt or feel like an invisible minority, but sometimes the healing process starts by showing up and investing in yourself.
