Getting to know Hea Jin (Susan) Ko

Hello, thank you for visiting my page. My name is Susan Hea Jin Ko, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I received my B.S. in Psychology from Syracuse University and my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC). I specialize in working with Anxiety, Depression, and Life Stressors. I am a bilingual therapist, able to provide therapy in both Korean and English. My approach I always inform my clients that therapy isn't about the therapist leading and telling them what to do. It's more about the therapist and client walking and working together as a team. I am committed to building transparent and accountable therapeutic relationships with my clients and providing the warm care they deserve. I utilize a range of approaches so clients feel supported and receive what they need. I firmly believe that no single approach fits everyone's treatment. Everyone comes to therapy seeking support for different reasons and at different life stages. I respect everyone's background and the support they are seeking. Some of the evidence-based and strength-based approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma-Informed care. My focus I specialize in working with Anxiety Disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, various phobia-related disorders, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder [OCD]), Depression Disorders (Major Depression, Persistent Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Peripartum [Postpartum] Depression, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), and various life stressors.
