“Stephanie Kim has made me feel truly understood in a way none of my previous four therapists have. I deeply value the cultural awareness she brings to our sessions, which allows her to empathize with the complex experiences of growing up Asian American, particularly as a child of immigrants. As someone navigating trauma, addiction, and long-repressed emotions, I’ve especially appreciated Stephanie’s compassionate, gentle approach to unpacking the past, drawing meaningful connections, and challenging unhelpful thought patterns with care. After many cycles of trial and error/improvement and relapse, I feel confident, grateful, and excited to make something of this precious life, thanks to Stephanie.”

Getting to know Stephanie Kim

I approach therapy with the perspective that each individual has their own narrative that is unique and worthy of being heard. My approach is tailored to support the client’s specific needs through warmth, attunement, responsiveness and acceptance. I use an integrated approach with psychodynamic theory at the core, in combination with behavioral and somatic modalities. Using a psychodynamic framework as the organizing structure, I guide the client in processing their emotions in order to gain valuable insight into the challenges they are facing. This process has the capability to bring about profound and lasting change. I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship/family issues, and life/career transitions. As an Asian-American therapist, I understand the need for culturally affirming care where safety and inclusiveness is the norm and not the exception. My own life transitions bring empathy and experience into the therapy space. As a former architect and ceramic artist, I invite curiosity and creativity into the therapeutic relationship as a means of exploration and problem solving. Through a collaborative approach that centers the client’s self-discovery, healing becomes possible.
