Hi there, I'm Sandy!
Hi, my name is Sandy Lim. My pronouns are she/her/hers and I am Korean and Filipino American born and raised in the Bay Area, California. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I look forward to building connections and cultivating a safe space with folks in their journey of self-exploration and healing.
My approach
My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. I practice cultural humility, mindfulness, authenticity, and radical joy.
My focus
I have specific experience working with people of color, young adults, and teenagers dealing with life transitions, poverty and homelessness, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and self-esteem issues. I have also worked with adults who are formerly incarcerated.
My communication style
I continue to bring my authentic self and meet folks where they're at. Through active listening, empathy, attunement, and natural conversation, my goal is for folks to feel heard, seen, and empowered.
