Rachel Kim, LCSW

Rachel Kim, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I'm Rachel Kim, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Brigham Young University. My therapeutic approach is grounded in strength-based and attachment-focused therapies, tailored to each person's unique needs. With a warm and collaborative style, I emphasize creating a comfortable space for clients to explore their past and how it affects current thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. My practice focuses on balancing processing, teaching new skills, and understanding how to change current patterns that no longer serve you. My approach I integrate attachment-focused, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. Attachment-focused therapy forms the foundation of my work, emphasizing a secure therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By nurturing this connection, I help clients understand how early attachment patterns influence present relationships and emotional responses. I also employ a strengths-based perspective, recognizing and building upon each individual's strengths and resources. Highlighting these positive aspects helps clients cultivate empowerment, resilience, and agency throughout therapy. I believe in balancing discussion of areas for improvement with personal strengths while processing. Incorporating CBT, I collaborate with clients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to distress. Through CBT, clients learn practical skills to manage emotions, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies. By combining these approaches, we explore your past experiences, tap into your strengths, and provide practical tools to navigate challenges and foster personal growth.
