Great to meet you!

I’m Vanda Kim. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I support adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges—including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace stress, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions freely. I also work with clients who are seeking greater purpose and meaning in their lives, offering guidance and support as they move toward deeper self-understanding, balance, and fulfillment.

My approach to therapy

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing on a range of methods to meet you where you are. I believe that our past experiences shape how we move through the world, but they don’t have to define our future. In our work together, my goal is to create a space that feels safe, warm, and authentic—a place where you can explore your story, make sense of what feels stuck, and discover new ways of being. I draw on CBT and mindfulness to support practical change, while helping you connect more deeply with your strengths, self-compassion, and inner resilience.

What you can expect from me

Please come with an open mind and let go of any expectations about what therapy “should” look like. Our first session is about connection—getting to know each other and seeing if we’re a good fit. You’re welcome to ask about my approach or background, and I’ll ask questions to understand what brings you in and what you hope to gain. Together, we’ll start creating a plan that supports your goals.
