“Sharon is very caring and compassionate. She listens as well as observes well. I’d almost lost hope in finding a therapist who I could trust would listen and guide me, not just try to “fix” what I told them. ”

Getting to know Sharon Kim

Hello and welcome! I’m Sharon, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and EMDR Certified Therapist at Embrace Counseling Center in Illinois. My training and experience have allowed me to walk alongside children, adolescents, young adults, and adults in many different stages of life—from therapeutic day schools and inpatient addiction programs to supporting individuals through cross-cultural challenges, spiritual trauma, and life transitions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honors the brain-body-spirit connection. Drawing from EMDR, Brainspotting, Mindfulness-based practices, and expressive therapies like art and play, I offer ways to explore healing and growth when words alone cannot capture the full depth of your experiences, your story.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As your therapist, I hope to provide a safe and compassionate space where your story can be explored with care and respect. I believe therapy is not about rewriting who you are but about embracing the strengths already within you. Together, let's explore the chapters of your life and shape a path that nurtures healing, growth, and meaningful change.
