Mi Joung Park, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mi Joung!

I am genuinely dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space for you to share your experiences. My commitment lies in assisting you in cultivating a sense of ease within yourself and fostering harmonious connections with your environment. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.

My focus

I possess extensive experience spanning diverse age groups, from 4 years old to individuals aged 70 and beyond, with a focus on addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, anger management, life transition, grief, and various relationship challenges.

My approach

I believe inherent goodness resides within every individual. My approach centers on empowering clients to embrace their true selves and illuminate their strengths by fostering healthier relationships with self and others. My main therapeutic tools are Cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, inner child work, and strengths-based therapy.

My communication style

I believe the key elements in communication are active listening, warm acceptance, and empathy. The therapist's role is to support the client in finding their own voice and help expand their perspective to create healthier relationships with self and others.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist stems from a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I am committed to continuous growth in my practice, always seeking to better serve those who trust me with their stories.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and create a personalized plan that honors your unique needs. Together, we'll explore patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support meaningful change in your life.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. This is your space to share openly, and we'll work together to create a plan that feels right for you.
