Myungsu’s work is primarily psychodynamic and allows other approaches and techniques to provide a safe and supportive space for her clients to feel heard, learn to express themselves, and help them integrate different perspectives in understanding their experiences.
She hopes to serve clients in cultivating healthy relationships with themselves and others and explore unknown aspects of their being in opportunities for enduring growth and healing through reclaiming, reintegrating, and meaning-making. Myungsu is interested in every issue related to clients including anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulties in relationships, religious/spiritual concerns, loss and grief, and suffering.
Myungsu enjoys working with a diverse range of clients. Her experience of living in different countries developed a multicultural lens that helps her understand the uniqueness of each person and intersecting challenges of identity formation, cross-cultural adjustment, and self-esteem enhancement. In addition to the general public, she is passionate about working with Asians and Asian Americans. She provides bilingual services in English and Korean.
