WELCOME TO MY PRACTICE

Hi, my name is Sumi. I am a licensed psychotherapist in California and Georgia. I am also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I provide telehealth services and clinical mentoring in Korean and English.

Over fifteen years of working with clients, I have been described as present, nurturing, and understanding. My therapeutic approach is mindfulness-based humanistic psychology with an existential frame of reference. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to overcome obstacles blocking your path. Furthermore, I value the awareness of cultural diversity and honoring one's authenticity.

I appreciate building a genuine therapeutic relationship where one can cultivate active engagement and mutual respect. I am willing to offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I hope we can take this meaningful journey together to experience personal growth and find a balance in life.
