What is unique about Dr. Kim compared to every other psychiatrist out there?
I have lived experience with trauma along with the courage to share how it has impacted me as a person and as a psychiatrist. I get it. Work with someone who gets it. Work with someone who gets you.

You can only meet others as deeply as you’ve met yourself, and in the same vein – People can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.
I’ve invested in becoming the best possible version of myself and intend to continue living my best life. With my own needs met, I can offer you my surplus of emotional bandwidth and unique, trauma-informed clinical expertise.
