WELCOME TO MY PRACTICE
Hello, my name is Sumi. I am a licensed psychotherapist in California and Georgia, and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I offer telehealth services and clinical consultations in both Korean and English.
With over fifteen years of experience, I am deeply committed to the healing potential of presence, self-awareness, and acceptance. My work is grounded in mindfulness-based humanistic psychology and guided by an existential perspective, honoring each person’s unique journey through life’s complexities.
I believe that meaningful growth begins within a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect, authenticity, and active collaboration. In our work together, you’ll find a safe and supportive space where you are invited to be fully yourself.
Whether you’re seeking deeper connection, healing, or clarity in the midst of life’s changes, I welcome you to begin this journey with me—to explore, grow, and rediscover your sense of wholeness.
