Welcome
Therapy is the brave process of making your way home to your true self and building a life that honors your deepest desires, hopes, and needs.
Learn to quiet your mind and listen to your heart so that you can transform your grief and pain into beauty, joy, and liberation.
I hold a warm, safe, and confidential container for you in which we will explore pain points, find creative solutions for the challenges in your life, and increase your self awareness and relational capabilities.
Set yourself free from suffering and move through your life with power, grace, and ease.
I am so glad you are here. Now, let us re-create your life, together.

Services
Individual Therapy
I help individuals work through concerns related to anxiety, depression, and burnout. I provide guidance in navigating your relationships and finding richness and meaning in your life.
Together, we will build your mental and emotional resilience, activate powerful self-love and compassion, and grow your ability to create new patterns, stories, and lived experiences.
Couple Therapy
I support couples in creating vibrant, loving, and respectful relationships. I help you identify your goals and values as a couple, deepen understanding and trust, and increase connection, inspiration, and intimacy.
Online Therapy
I provide therapy online and over the phone for clients who live anywhere in the state of California. You have access to the support you need quickly and easily, from the comfort of your own home.

About Nara
I am a Korean-American psychotherapist based in Pasadena, California.
I became a therapist because therapy gave me the clarity + confidence to be myself in the world. It transformed my relationship to myself, my family, my partner, and life itself.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and strained relationships between partners and family members.
Training and licensure
I received my MA in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Spiritual and Depth Psychology from Antioch University.

Fees + Policies
My regular fee for therapy is $250 per session. Sessions are fifty minutes in length.
Recognizing the significant socio-economic disparities which exist within our communities, I offer reduced fees to a small portion of my clientele. Reduced fees are determined on a case-by-case basis.
I do not accept insurance at this time. As an out-of-network provider, I am happy to provide you with a receipt for therapy (also called a 'superbill') which you may submit to your insurance company for partial/full reimbursement.
