Alcohol Use Therapists in Exeter, CA

I have a Master of Social Welfare from UCLA and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Southern California and have been practicing for the past 21 years. I am Korean American. I have experience working with many diverse populations, including hospital settings including end of life and crisis, geriatric (elderly), transitional aged youth (16–25 years old), substance use counseling, severely and persistently mentally ill, those with moderate symptoms, working professionals, adults, and diverse ethnic groups. I have an eclectic style and I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).

The techniques I use are tailored to each client's unique needs and challenges. I use a holistic approach that is clinical, psychological, medical, and spiritual. These techniques help me plan, diagnose, and treat individuals as well as couples in relationship counseling. This creates a confidential, non-judgmental atmosphere based on kindness and respect. Only in this environment can you begin to make healthy, confident and mindful decisions so that you can reach your personal and relationship goals. I will walk with you through whatever challenges stand in your way.

If you have recognized you feel depressed, anxious, angry, or generally not yourself, I can help! I like to approach each client as an individual while utilizing an integrative approach in an effort to create a non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel safe to work through therapy in an individually tailored way. Everyone carries their own background and experience with them so the flexibility of my approach allows the individual needs and communication style of each client to be addressed. My hope is to get to know you and your individual needs so we can develop an effective plan to address your concerns.

After over 19 years working in the emergency medical service field, as an emergency medical technician and paramedic, I realized how a healthy state of mind can have a significant impact on an individual's physical health. Throughout my career, I helped thousands of individuals in their most vulnerable state, primarily by helping them feel safe and secure as well as empathizing and showing sincere compassion. In doing this, I witnessed a significant decrease in their physical symptoms as well as their emotional state.

I have journeyed with many clients through recovery from early trauma and the problems that can arise from the same. I utilize a psychodynamic approach to cultivate a safe attachment with clients to facilitate a reparative connection that gets generalized out to the client's primary relationships. This typically results in greater stability, peace and joy as clients continue their journeys. The work tends to focus on reconciling oneself to need and vulnerability and learning to bring all of oneself into relationship with God, others, and self through increased self-acceptance even as you continue to grow and mature.
