I speak fluent Korean.
I provide a warm and nonjudgmental atmosphere so you will have a safe place to let your guard down and explore. You will be heard. You may be experiencing a "lost at sea" moment - which can be expressed in many shades of sadness,worries, or even anger. These moments can be circumstantial, or perhaps, you just can't seem to stop yourself from revisiting old challenges. We will identify that very pattern you get stuck and get to the core of the issues so you can start to heal and reach your optimal emotional well being.

My understanding of clients comes from my diverse interests and experience. I initially studied human memory and language processing, and received the Ph.D. in cognitive psychology at the University of Chicago. After gaining diverse experience as a researcher, faculty, consultant, and a full-time mother raising two children in different countries, I decided to work with clients and became a clinical psychologist. I believe therapy is a process of growth in which a client and a therapist collaborate with each other. I strive to provide safe and caring environment where clients can explore their potential to grow.

As a female-identifying Korean American with an immigrant background, I have a particular affinity in exploring the ways different identities play a role in cultivating unique experiences.
Hwaiting (화이팅), which is a Korean phrase that is phonetically alike to the English word “fighting” best translates as, keep going or keep fighting on. This concept exists within all of us. We experience the glimmers of hwaiting when trying to reach our goals to the hardship moments when we need empowerment, support, drive, and motivation. In our therapeutic space, I hope to evoke this sense of hwaiting as an underlying motto in our work, as we navigate your therapeutic journey in healing, understanding, and exploration.

As a second-generation Korean American, I recognize the growing need for culturally sensitive therapists in oppressed communities.
I work within BIPOC communities on navigating difficulties with ethnic and/or racial identity, past & present family dynamics, mood-related concerns, interpersonal relationships, neurodiversity, and overall emotional regulation. Through the years, I have seen how a safe therapeutic relationship creates space to explore one's self, family, and larger system in order to relearn ways of navigating life with culturally-informed self-determination. I use eclectic therapy to weave together different approaches that create a custom-tailored treatment plan according to each person's needs, backgrounds, strengths, goals, and more.

Additionally, I speak conversational Cantonese, basic Korean, and basic Japanese.
Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of self-criticism, leading to persistent feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness? Do your emotions sometimes overwhelm you, resulting in reactions that feel disproportionate to the situation? Navigating relationships can become even more challenging when affected by family dynamics. Maybe you have been having concerns with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/ loss, life transitions, career/school stress, self-harm, and relationship challenges. Perhaps you’ve become discouraged by your attempts to help yourself. That’s what I’m here for.

Everyone enters therapy with different goals. Whether a person is very clear on what they want to accomplish or still figuring things out, I encourage them to make choices at their own pace. I believe every person is the expert of their own experiences. I prioritize working with sick/mad/disabled, queer and trans people of color of all ages, but particularly late adolescents and emerging/young adults. I am affirming, sex and kink positive, and experienced in helping navigate poly & non-monogamous relationships. I also specialize in exploring and building skills/resources with neurodivergent individuals.

Hi! I am Jihye (pronounced Ji Hae). I believe everyone has their own "Twinkle Twinkle." This is my philosophy in therapy. I aim to kindle this twinkling light within you, to help you discover and connect with your true self, a spark of divinity that is woven in your being in order to grow. Personal growth always helps you be alert, fully awakened to perceive your twinkle, which has always been there, and loyal to your full potential. I am working with individuals (adults) who think too much and struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I am also working with individuals who want spiritual counseling.

Don't know where to start? That is okay. We can start with a conversation and start processing together. To me, counseling is a place to grow a relationship, to learn about what is going on, and to have a conversation to broaden self awareness without judgement. It can be about family, work, relationships, season of life and feeling stuck, frustrated, resentful, exhausted, or numb. It's most important to me that the environment feels safe and for us to think about how change and growth can happen, how to reframe and take control of the environment around them, and to find strength and confidence to take care of yourself.
