Asian Therapists in Boulder, CO
My approach to therapy begins with a deep respect for the resilience and skill that people have when facing hardship. I believe that therapy and healing begins when we create a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space as individuals face their personal journeys. Working within a trauma informed, and culturally responsive framework, I strive to honour the many identities and stories that one may carry and how they may impact the way they move and interact in the world.

As the Korean mother of three grown, bi-racial, neurospicy, queer kids, I have deep understanding/knowledge of parenting and developmental issues.
I work individuals and couples navigating relationships, work stress, transitions, and/or life purpose. True authenticity requires great skill. This can include relationship and communication skills, gender and racial identity, parenting, aging, leadership skills, dealing with existential uncertainty and grief (including death and dying). My clients value a counselor with a who can work with their attachment styles and hold compassionate curiosity around how they express themselves in relation to others, their circumstances and, most importantly, themselves. I particularly enjoy working with therapists as clients.

My approach is client-centered, meaning I start where you are and work collaboratively to find a way forward. Perhaps that means finding a solution to a specific problem, or breaking patterns of behavior, or simply developing a better understanding of yourself.

I am a good fit for individuals navigating transitions, feeling worn down by old ways of being, or struggling to find their center in relationships. Many of the people I work with carry early family or relational trauma, feel stuck in familiar patterns, experience nervous system exhaustion, anxiety, depression, shame, or a loss of joy, and may also be living with complex health challenges or loss. As a somatic trauma therapist, I especially enjoy working with first-generation Americans, people of color, bicultural individuals, and those impacted by developmental, historical, or generational trauma.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, high functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

I provide a collaborative space where clients can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, build emotional regulation, and reconnect with themselves.

Schedule instantly through my website link in my bio! As a queer BIPOC individual, my passion is working with other individuals, relationships, and family systems of the queer and or BIPOC community. If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them?

In my practice, I embrace a human-centered approach that honors the profound connection between mind, body, soul and community. I believe our life experiences are not only held in our thoughts but also felt deeply in our bodies, shaping the way we move through the world. By creating a safe and compassionate space together, we can gently explore your inner landscape, uncover the stories that have shaped you, and notice how your body responds and holds what you’ve been through.

I work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and bring particular sensitivity to the lived experiences of individuals from Asian and immigrant communities.
Living with ongoing physical or emotional pain can slowly wear you down, embedding trauma in your body and mind. Whether you’re experiencing chronic physical pain, unexplained symptoms, or emotional distress that lingers, your world may feel limited and unpredictable. Your body remains on high alert, and worry or frustration begin to shape your daily choices. You may avoid activities, withdraw from others, or feel discouraged by treatments that haven’t brought lasting relief. Each day can feel like a test of endurance with no clear path forward.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
