Who Am I?

     Hello! I am Anthony Kim. I graduated from Northwestern University with a Master's in counseling.  Growing up as a child of immigrant parents was no easy journey. They had high expectations for my brother and myself and it was engrained in me the tremendous sacrifices they made for our future. I didn’t grasp the weight of generational trauma, dysfunctional family patterns, and pressure to assimilate yet exceed on my mental health. Therapy was a first time I was able to learn about the patterns of my habit and their effects on my sanity. I bring that knowledge and skills to help you get to the place in life you were meant to be. As a therapist, I’m warm, collaborative, and practical. I’ll listen closely to what you’re going through and offer tools you can use between sessions. My goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

What is a first session like with me?

     Our first session should feel like a conversation with a new peer. We’ll talk about what brought you in and what you’d like to be different in your life. I’ll ask some questions to understand your history, your strengths, and what’s been hardest lately. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. I will make sure you feel supported, heard, and safe to explore aspects of yourself. Most importantly we will decide if we are the right fit for each other.

What can you expect going forward in therapy?

     Therapy with me is collaborative and engaged. Rather than offering quick techniques or surface-level coping tools, I work with you to understand the deeper patterns shaping how you feel. My years as a high school teacher shaped how I think about change: I do not give answers. Instead, we build insight and skills together that are yours to carry forward. Therapy with me is a space to slow down and begin to understand yourself differently. I will not simply reflect your words back to you; I will engage thoughtfully, offer perspective when it is useful, and work alongside you. Therapy will push you toward what is uncomfortable but I will make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

Ready to see if we're a good fit?
