Great to meet you!

I'm Johnny Kim, LCSW, and over the span of 14+ years, I have accumulated knowledge and experience in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to help target the core reasons for any maladaptive behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and traumas that are impacting your life.

My approach to therapy

Do you ever feel you're drifting through life, not fulfilled or passionate about your relationships, purpose, or career like you used to? Whether it be due to past traumas, toxic and abusive relationships, or lack of self-worth and purpose. Sometimes, we can come to a point in our lives where we feel we're constantly under stress, bored, disconnected, stagnant, and insignificant.

What you can expect from me

If you can resonate with any of these feelings I want to work with you, and create a new sense of fulfillment and passion back into your life, relationships, and career. My approach is direct, clear, and practical with no judgments or shame. Not dealing with your mental well-being such as anxiety, trauma, depression, and addiction early on can have an insurmountable impact on your personal and professional lives.
