“I've been going to Dr. Ryu for several months now, and have definitely seen improvements in myself as I desired. I am focused on building my self-confidence and listening to my inner voice. Dr. Ryu remembers all of our discussions and is always very encouraging – which is exactly what I need. She is very present during our sessions. As a creatively inclined person myself, I really value her love for art and self-expression as well, it aligns well with my view of life and the world. At the same time, she still challenges my view when appropriate, offering alternative, and healing perspectives. Talking to her is something I look forward to every week!”

What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a Creative Arts Therapist; though we will be mainly using talk-therapy. I take Client-centered approach, meaning that I am not a blank screen, but a real person with genuine thoughts and emotions, and that I would expect you to also be the genuine self that you are. I am here to help you see who you are, with full acceptance and free of judgement. I work in partnership with you, believing in the strengths and potentials that you already possess. I also believe in the strength of the bottom-up approach in therapy, which means that I may introduce interventions to explore body sensations and creative expressions to process and regulate strong emotions that could be related to trauma or any other complex emotions that may arise during therapy.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After the initial phase of getting to know each other and completing the assessment (during this phase, you’ll expect me to ask you a lot of questions), we will work together to set goals (aspects that you would like to work on or focus on during the course of therapy). A typical session would start with me checking-in about the week. I mostly invite the Clients to open up with any issues that the Client had in mind, or I would follow up with topics that were discussed from the previous session. I would help you to verbally express whatever is in your mind, and we would work together to explore what these mean to you and help you to navigate through them, so that you can hear what it is that you truly want/need, free from all judgement, pressure, bias or any distorted thoughts that were formed from the past. We may explore different ways of responding to the issue, practice coping skills and find problem solving together. You will not see me coaching or instructing, though at times I may introduce some concepts, intervention ideas, and mechanisms for coping. You will see me reflecting back some of the thoughts, accepting for who you are, helping you to find your strengths, but also challenging some thoughts and questioning possible blind spots. You will see me suggesting different ways of thinking or behaving, and always welcoming any pushback!

She was very good listener and very helpful for me.

It was hard to open up to her as it felt like she was highly biased even if that was not her intent. It made me uncomfortable communicating my thoughts and feelings with her and made me feel judged in a way I was not expecting.
All in all it is unlikely I will see her again though I was looking forward to our appointment and clinical relationship based on her experience and about me section in zocdoc
