Therapists in Mercer Island, WA

외로움, 갈등, 과거의 짐들, 문제 행동, 문화적 장벽, 이민의 복잡한 삶으로 인해 어려움을 겪을 때 우리는 마음 속에 깊이 담아두었던 나의 이야기를 공감 받는 안전한 공간과 시간이 필요 합니다. 오랬동안 정리되지 않은 감정들이나 무너진 관계들로 인해 불안감과 스트레스로 답답할 때 우리는 위로와 이해 받는 경험이 필요 합니다. 하지만 아쉽게도 이런 대화의 자리를 찾는 일이 너무 어려울 때가 많이 있습니다.

한국어로도 상담합니다.

You've lived your life, most likely, in your head. It told you how to behave so that you'll succeed in the eyes of others. But now, despite the achievements, you're getting signals from both inside and outside of you that something's not quite right. Perhaps you don't really feel cared for in your relationships; perhaps you're a teen who doesn't know why you have to lose sleep for this nebulous thing called "success"; perhaps you're a parent who, try as you might, can't connect with your child. You get the sense that your own stuff is getting in the way of you being who you want to be.

If any relational or behavioral patterns are keeping you from living your best life, therapy may be able to help you experience greater freedom and healing. Whether it’s the pandemic, everyday stresses, or childhood trauma, I would be honored to join you in your therapeutic journey. I believe therapy is one of the best self-care practices you can have for yourself. It’s time dedicated just for you. 고민, 스트레스, 이민 생활, 트라우마 대해서 서로 이야기를 나눌 수 있는 자리를 준비해 드리겠습니다.
