Ji Eun Midlam, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ji Eun!

I help people navigate job stress, career transitions, marital challenges, infertility, new medical diagnoses, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. My practice focuses on emotional support and practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

My focus

I work with adults facing career stress, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, infertility, medical diagnoses, and self-esteem concerns. I'm comfortable supporting clients across all age groups as they navigate life transitions and work toward meaningful change.

My approach

I use Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychology to help you identify what's working and what needs to change. My approach is person-centered and compassionate, blending insight with practical tools to support your growth and resilience.

My communication style

I communicate with respect, compassion, and honesty. You can expect insightful interpretation, transparent feedback, and healthy confrontation when needed to support your self-discovery. Building a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in trust is central to how I work.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm naturally empathic, which drew me to healthcare and helping people navigate difficult moments. Supporting others through challenges and growth feels like a natural extension of who I am.

My goals for you

We'll set goals together that are tangible and achievable, not set up for failure. I assess your motivation and commitment first, because alignment is essential for sustained progress. Learning from setbacks is part of the self-reflective process.

Our first session

Expect a free-flowing conversation where we get to know each other. I'll learn about your communication style and how you process information, so we can tailor our work together to what feels right for you.
