Hello, my name is Sumi. I am a licensed psychotherapist in California and Georgia, and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I provide telehealth services and clinical consultations in both Korean and English. With over fifteen years of experience working with clients, I am often described as caring, genuine, and deeply attuned. My therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness-based humanistic psychology and framed within an existential perspective.
I believe that meaningful personal growth begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and active collaboration. I offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel free to be fully yourself. Within this supportive environment, you can begin to cultivate greater presence, awareness, and acceptance.
I invite you to embark on this journey with me to explore, heal, and reconnect with yourself and others as you navigate life’s unfolding changes.

I work with clients who struggle with adjustment difficulties, anxiety, relational trauma, depression, and life transitions. During our initial sessions, we will explore the history/origins of the issues and collaborate to create a treatment plan to meet your clinical needs.

I often use compassion-focused and mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches. When clients are in need of learning new coping skills, I introduce MBCT(Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy), MBSR(Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), and CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Also, with clients who have intellectual curiosity, psychoeducation has been helpful to enhance their understanding of the issues.
