Individual Therapy

Therapy — Healing & Growth

For adults navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, or the weight of living between two worlds. Sessions are available in English and Korean, virtually in Washington State.

Who this is for

• Complex trauma survivors — Emotionally immature parents, chronic relational wounds, C-PTSD — the past that still shapes the present
• Neurodivergent adults — ADHD, autism, executive functioning — late-diagnosed or undiagnosed, trying to understand how your mind works
• High achievers in burnout — Perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, never feeling like enough — no matter how much you accomplish
• Highly sensitive people — Easily overwhelmed, deeply empathetic — told you feel too much, or wondering why you feel nothing at all
• People with high anxiety — Persistent worry, difficulty functioning in daily tasks, a mind that won’t slow down
• International professionals — Born and raised elsewhere, now building a life in the US — navigating identity, belonging, and what got left behind

I'm a Korean psychologist and therapist based in Seattle, Washington, offering individual psychotherapy in English and Korean. I specialize in complex trauma (C-PTSD), anxiety, and identity concerns — with a particular focus on immigrants, international professionals, and first- and second-generation adults navigating life between cultures. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gestalt therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and trauma-informed care. I also provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for adults with ADHD and autism, diagnosed late or still figuring it out.

What we work on together

We slow down enough to actually listen — to what you feel, what you avoid feeling, and what's been waiting to be heard. Sessions are 55 minutes, held virtually in Washington State.

Focus areas

• Complex PTSD / C-PTSD
• EMDR
• Anxiety & perfectionism
• ADHD & focus
• Existential crisis
• Bicultural identity
• Family of origin
• Life transitions

ACT + Gestalt + EMDR — trauma-informed care that works with mind, body, and the stories you carry, not just symptoms.

I am currently accepting inquiries for individual therapy. Availability changes, and a waitlist may be necessary — please contact me directly to ask about current openings.

Fees: $250 / 55-min session · $300 initial session

Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy

Some couples come because they live between two cultures. Some because one or both partners are neurodivergent. Many are stuck in the same fight, or in the quiet distance that grows over time. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach to couples work. Sessions in English and Korean.

Who this is for

• Korean, Korean-American & intercultural couples — Different emotional languages, family expectations, and unspoken rules
• Neurodivergent couples — One or both partners with ADHD or autism, sometimes diagnosed late — mismatched rhythms, communication styles, and the exhaustion of being misunderstood
• Couples stuck in the same fight — Different topic, same wound. Nothing ever fully resolves
• Couples after a rupture — Betrayal, loss, or a moment that changed everything — finding a way back, or forward

I'm a Korean psychologist based in Seattle, offering couples therapy across Washington State. Sessions are virtual, in English and Korean. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps couples identify negative interaction cycles, reconnect emotionally, and build more secure attachment. I often work with intercultural and bicultural couples, including Korean and Korean-American couples, and with neurodivergent couples where ADHD or autism is part of the relationship, whether long-known or newly diagnosed. I also see couples rebuilding trust after betrayal or rupture.

What we work on together

We slow down the cycle — the pursue-withdraw, the silence, the same argument that never ends — and find what’s underneath it. Not to assign blame, but to understand what each of you is actually reaching for.

Focus areas

• Korean & Korean-American couples
• Intercultural couples
• Neurodivergent couples
• ADHD & autism
• Attachment & disconnection
• Recurring conflict
• Emotional intimacy
• Trust & repair

Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — attachment-based couples therapy.

I am currently accepting inquiries from new couples. Availability changes, and a waitlist may be necessary — please contact me directly to ask about current openings.

Fees: $350 / 75-min session

Couples sessions are 75 minutes — longer than individual sessions — to allow both partners space to be heard. The fee is the same for every session, including the first.

ADHD & Autism Evaluations

Psychological Evaluation

Formal ADHD and autism evaluations for adults, including those identifying late after years of managing and masking. Conducted virtually across Washington State, in English and Korean.

I'm a licensed psychologist providing adult ADHD and autism evaluations across Washington State, conducted virtually in English and Korean. Evaluations are neurodivergent-affirming and designed for adults, including late-identified and high-masking adults. The process may include clinical interviews, developmental history, standardized measures, and instruments such as the DIVA-5 for ADHD and the MIGDAS-2 for autism. When the findings support a diagnosis, I make the diagnosis formally and provide a written report. Evaluations are scheduled as a distinct service, separate from therapy, and structured interviews are typically conducted across two sessions.

What an evaluation involves

A structured process built around a diagnostic question: clinical interviews, developmental and relevant history, standardized measures, and a feedback session where we walk through the findings together. The structured interview covers both childhood and current functioning, so it is typically completed over two sessions of about 90 minutes each — two shorter sittings give better information than one long one. The number of sessions depends on the scope of the diagnostic question and is confirmed before you begin. You leave with a written report, and a formal diagnosis when the evidence supports one. More detail on the process is in the FAQ.

Focus areas

• Adult ADHD
• Adult autism
• AuDHD
• Late identification
• High-masking adults
• English & Korean

Neurodivergent-affirming evaluation for adults — evidence-based, and explained in plain language.

Evaluations are opening by waitlist — join the list and I’ll reach out as availability opens.

Fees: $1,800 ADHD · $2,400 autism · $3,200 combined

The fee includes all interview sessions, scoring and interpretation, a written report, and a feedback session. Letters and a second-language report are quoted separately. Evaluation is a separate service from therapy, with its own sessions, consent, and fee. You do not need to be a therapy client to request one.

Fees & Insurance

Fees & insurance

Why Private Pay? I thought about this a lot before making this decision.

Fee summary: Individual $250 / 55 min · Couples $350 / 75 min · Evaluations $1,800–3,200 · Free 15-minute consultation

The truth is, everyone deserves quality care, and I know private pay limits accessibility. That tension doesn't go away. I chose this model so I can maintain a smaller caseload and show up fully — with time to prepare, continue learning, and create resources tailored to your care.

Private-pay therapy allows us to make clinical decisions without insurance-directed treatment requirements or session limits. Your privacy is treated with great care and protected within legal and ethical limits.

A diagnosis is not required solely for private-pay billing. However, if you request a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement, it generally includes diagnostic and clinical billing information.

Using Your Insurance — Out-of-network benefits

I can provide a superbill upon request for eligible out-of-network services. A superbill generally includes diagnostic and billing information, my NPI (1891517702), and Washington license number (PSYC.PY.61613007). Reimbursement is determined entirely by your insurance plan and is not guaranteed. Before beginning services, contact your insurer to ask about your out-of-network deductible, allowed amount, coinsurance, reimbursement requirements, and whether the service you are seeking is eligible. See the FAQ for a step-by-step checklist.
