Dr. Grace Kim
(License: CA 33257, IA 110282, WA 61210188)
Hi, I'm Dr. Grace Kim, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with clinical expertise working with culturally diverse adults coping with complex trauma (including racial stress), depression, anxiety, shame, self-worth issues, relationship distress, and women's reproductive health concerns. I find it especially meaningful when I can help clients value themselves through a self-compassionate perspective, set healthy boundaries, and live life in a way that strongly aligns with their values and needs.
I also enjoy helping couples develop deeper intimacy, increase emotional safety, and communicate more effectively with one another.
In all my work, I prioritize creating a space of radical acceptance and non-judgment, so clients can feel safe to examine their lives honestly and accurately. I’m confident that radically genuine living is a life worth living, and I strive to help individuals develop a safe, inner haven through which they can live unapologetically as their true selves.
I look forward to beginning the collaborative and meaningful process of exploration and restoration with you in therapy. Schedule a free consultation with me by reaching out via email/phone or clicking the “schedule a free consultation” button at the bottom of this page.
