Professional statement

Christopher Kim is a licensed psychological associate who provides therapeutic services to adults experiencing behavioral, emotional, and psychological challenges. He serves clients from diverse backgrounds and welcomes individuals seeking support for depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, burnout, and cultural challenges. He also understands firsthand the demands of managing a career or business alongside personal life because of his 13 years of business experience. Many of Christopher's clients come to him when they feel overwhelmed, and these difficulties impact their work, relationships, happiness, and overall well-being. His goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can process emotions, build resilience, and develop strategies for managing life’s challenges.

Christopher’s therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based treatments, including psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT), mindfulness practices, and strength-based interventions. This integrative approach allows him to tailor treatment plans to each client’s unique needs, while also relying on proven methods to promote positive change. Christopher collaborates closely with clients to help them explore underlying issues, challenge maladaptive thinking patterns, and cultivate healthier ways of coping. He is dedicated to empowering clients to achieve lasting emotional growth and personal development through self-awareness and practical, results-oriented strategies.

In addition to therapy, Christopher offers psychological assessments for adolescents and adults. Specializing in neuropsychological testing and diagnostic clarification, he conducts comprehensive evaluations for conditions such as ADHD, learning disorders, developmental disabilities, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other psychiatric conditions. His assessment batteries provide a thorough understanding of clients' cognitive, emotional, and psychological functioning, essential for developing informed, personalized treatment plans.

Christopher offers remote therapy sessions via secure video conferencing. With flexible scheduling options, Christopher strives to accommodate the busy lives of his clients. Whether clients seek therapy or assessment services, Christopher remains committed to helping them enhance their quality of life and achieve meaningful, long-term personal growth.
