Minju Kim Counseling

My areas of expertise include low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma-related issues, relationship challenges (insecurity, codependence, attachment issues), and Family of Origin (FOO) issues. I assist my clients in exploring their true identities, embracing themselves, understanding others, making sense of the consequences, and ultimately leading a more fulfilling life. In particular, I have extensive clinical experience working with individuals who have been raised or treated by toxic (controlling, manipulative, narcissistic) parents or partners. I provide a non-judgmental and supportive space where clients can freely discuss their experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Additionally, I am fluent in Korean, which happens to be my first language. I tend to work well with... • Clients who are interested in learning new things, including psychology and mindfulness. • Clients who enjoy connection, honesty, and humor. • Clients who are into music and arts and who lean towards the sensitive, intuitive, and spiritual side. • Clients who were raised by controlling parent(s) in a competitive environment. • Clients who have trauma-related issues. • Bilingual/bicultural clients who are experiencing an identity crisis. • College students or young professionals who are currently feeling stuck and trying to figure out "what I want" and "who I am." • Parents/couples who want to improve their parenting/partnership by healing their own emotional wounds. Mothers who want to regain a sense of self and confidence.
