Therapists in San Francisco, CA

안녕하세요, 심리상담사 이아현입니다. 저는 트라우마 심리치료를 전문으로 하고 있습니다. 트라우마는 다양한 모습으로 저희 삶에 영향을 주고 있습니다. 가족관계, 인간관계, 끔찍했던 기억들, 상처받은 아픔들, 우울한 모습과 불안한 모습으로 저희 곁에 있습니다. 저와의 상담을 통해서 하나씩 꺼내보고 아픔을 치료할 수 있는 첫 발을 내딛어주세요. 일주일에 한 번 상담으로, 누구에게도 하지 못했던 이야기, 생각만으로도 무서워 피했던 주제들을 풀어나가고, 또는 누군가와 마음을 열 수 있는 공간을 마주해보세요.

살다보면 인생이란 것이 참으로 힘들고 어려운 문제들로 가득하게 느껴질 때가 많습니다. 그런 순간에 "나만 이렇게 힘들어 하는 건 아닐까? 왜 나는 이렇게 방황하고 있는걸까?" 라는 생각에 더욱 지치고, 힘들고, 외로워 졌던 경험이 있으신가요? 그런 힘들고 외로운 순간들, 오랜시간의 고통 속에 아파했던 시간들 가운데에 저희 Time for Me Therapy가 함께 해드리겠습니다. 삶의 여러가지 상황에서 상처를 받고 있는 많은 분들이 저와의 뜻 깊은 시간을 통해 마음의 치유와 함께 더 나은 자신, 더 행복한 삶을 향해 한 걸음 더 가까이 다가가 실 수 있기를 희망합니다. 공감과 존중의 마음으로 따뜻하게 여러분의 변화와 성장을 위해 함께 노력할 것을 약속 드립니다.

저는 한국에서 태어나고 미국에서 자란 심리학자 그랜트 서 입니다. 저는 이민이나 유학, 또는 다른 이유의 타향살이가 얼만큼 고된 일이 될 수 있는지 알고 있습니다. 언어장벽이나 문화적인 차이로 인해 우리는 여러가지 어려움과 소외감을 을 겪을 수 있습니다. 게다가 미국은 미국대로, 또 한국은 한국대로 너무 빠르게 변해가는 시대가 되었습니다. 여러가지 가치관이 공존, 대립하며 나만의 해답을 찾는 것이 점점 어려워지고 있습니다. 언어가 통해도 마음이 통하는 사람을 만나지 못해 외로워질 수 있고, 가족끼리도 서로 의지하기가 어려워지는 경우도 생깁니다.

과거와 지금의 상처들, 그리고 미래에 대한 걱정과 불안들로 마음의 고통을 겪고 계신가요? 일, 학업, 인간관계, 자녀양육, 등등으로 인한 스트레스와 번아웃으로 무기력한 하루를 보내시나요? 감정조절과 감정표현이 힘들고 욱하는 상황들로 인해 나 요즘 좀 힘들고 답답하다 라는 생각이 반복적으로 드시나요? 한국 사회에선 상담이라고 하면 내가 문제가 있는거지? 내가 뭘 그렇게 잘못하고 있나? 라고 생각하실 수도 있어요. 하지만, 감정 컨트롤을 어떻게 해야하는지 잘 모를때, 표현이 어렵고 대화가 힘들때, 전문가의 도움을 받아 잠시 멈추고 마음 안을 살펴볼 시간을 가져보세요.

인생을 살다 보면 누구나 감당하기 어려운 일들과 마주치게 되고 이런 버거운 상황들은 마음의 짐이나 트라우마가 되고 우울증, 불안증, 스트레스와 같은 마음의 병이 생기기도 합니다. 우리는 이러한 문제를 마주하는데 큰 두려움을 느끼고 그 때문에 도움을 청하는 것도 어려울 때가 있습니다. 하지만 저는 모든 사람이 어려움 속에서도 성장하고 극복할 수 있는 엄청난 회복력을 가지고 있다고 믿습니다. 길을 잃었거나 막혔다고 느낄때, 상담을 통해 자기 자신을 들여다 보는 것이 치유의 시작점이 되는 경우가 많습니다. 우리가 우리 자신을 이해하고 나면 우리에게 무엇이 필요하고, 무엇을 원하고 바꿀 수 있는지 더 분명하게 알 수 있습니다. 저는 내담자분들이 자신에 대해 더 깊이 이해해나가며 의미 있는 선택을 할 수 있도록 돕고, 자신과 관계의 회복과 평안한 삶의 길을 걷도록 돕고 있습니다. 저는 귀하의 이러한 여정을 돕는 따듯한 동반자가 되어드리길 원합니다.

I offer short and long term treatment of distressing psychological symptoms. Common symptoms include attentional difficulties, debilitating anxiety, lack of energy/motivation, overwhelming sadness and anger, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, and psychosomatic symptoms. These symptoms often emerge in response to life transitions, intergenerational family dynamics, identity crisis, difficult or traumatic past events, racial trauma, or the loss of a relationship. An additional focus of my practice centers around issues of racial and ethnic identity, navigating interracial relationships, and immigration related issues.

Life is sometimes unexpectedly difficult and suffering can be inevitable. However, how you respond to life circumstances can drastically change your ability to enjoy life. I have worked with those that believed in lies about themselves after a traumatic incident, childhood, or their own minds. These lies can be crippling and result in anxiety, depression, addictions, school related difficulties, stress, anger, parenting, communication difficulties, relational issues, family problems, job dissatisfaction and more. I provide different perspectives that encourage personal healing and relief. Change your mind change your life

Both modalities help us not only think differently, but also feel something new and healing.
