Cloe Kim

My communication style

My communication style is calm, supportive, inviting, safe, compassionate, warm, and trying to create an environment of trust so my clients can explore and process the past as the first step to healing and learn to focus on the future with hope. I utilize active listening and supportive reflection + attentive analysis.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always have a passion for people who are in need. My passion perfectly fits my job as a clinical social worker. I've gone through some challenges as an immigrant who needed to navigate a new language, new culture, and new systems. In addition, I've gone through many different countries such as Afghanistan, Mexico, Cambodia, and many more.

My goals for you

I would like to meet clients halfway and focus on meeting clients' needs. I work with clients to discover and explore the origins of their life issues and how they can affect their daily activities and relationships so that they can stop unhealthy patterns in their lives and create awareness of how their choices are impacting them.

Our first session

During our first session, my client should expect the opportunity to feel heard, express their needs, discuss immediate challenges that are causing distress, and seek to overcome them in a safe and therapeutic setting. I would like to explore the patient's expectations for future therapy sessions and get the client some background information.
