My name is Soowhan Choi, and I am a licensed psychologist in Nebraska. I specialize in assisting my clients in gaining a deeper understanding of their mental health symptoms and their effects on daily functioning. My focus encompasses addressing various issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, family of origin concerns, career challenges, trauma, and neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD and autism.
My approach
I guide clients in understanding their mental health symptoms by focusing on thoughts, emotions, coping, and interpersonal patterns. The counseling process involves establishing rapport, negotiating perspectives, and collaboratively deciding on interventions to achieve mutually agreed-upon goals. I believe facilitating positive changes depends on insight, knowledge, and the practical application of tools, and creating a unique and transformative experience in each session.
My focus
I specialize in offering counseling services to adults grappling with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family of origin concerns, career issues, trauma, and neuro-developmental conditions. My clinical training includes experiences at hospitals, community counseling centers, and university counseling centers.
My communication style
My goal is to establish a secure space for clients to introspect on their thoughts and emotions, fostering self-acceptance and the practice of adaptive ways to function and interact with others. I strive to empower clients, encouraging them to make autonomous decisions and experience personal growth through our counseling sessions.
My journey to mental healthcare
During my college years, I briefly worked as a math teacher and became increasingly interested in understanding mental health issues and interpersonal functioning of my students. This interest led me to enroll in counseling courses, which motivated me to pursue a career as a helping professional. I further enhanced my skills through clinical training at hospitals, community counseling centers, and university counseling centers, ultimately shaping me into an effective and passionate therapist.
My goals for you
I assist clients in identifying areas of concern and exploring factors impacting their mental health symptoms and functioning. Through collaborative discussions, we share perspectives on the reasons for these symptoms and devise strategies to achieve their goals. I offer ongoing feedback, encouragement, and support as clients navigate personal struggles and work towards accomplishing their goals.
My first session with you
The initial intake session functions as a consultation to clarify presenting concerns and identify mental health symptoms affecting functioning. Clients explore factors influencing their mental health symptoms, fostering understanding their current struggles. This process enhances insights into beneficial interventions and how counseling can support clients in moving towards their own goals.
