I've spent much of my career working in hospital-based and outpatient settings using evidenced-based CBT and DBT approaches, relational/solution-focused approaches, and life coaching. In my practice, I offer the opportunity to help people learn to process and better understand their relationship with their thoughts, feelings (emotions and physiology), and behaviors.

Rachel Kwon

Therapist

Virtual • California


You often feel misunderstood or have been told you're "too much," and deep down, you long to be truly seen and known. Family and societal systems may have taught you to shrink yourself to fit in or please others, making you highly skilled at masking your true self. You're intuitive, creative, and carry a rich inner world. Still, it can feel like you weren’t dealt the best hand in life, leaving you stuck, wondering if anyone else could ever truly relate. After spending so long prioritizing others’ needs, you're finally ready to cultivate a vibrant, purposeful life that’s fully your own.

Is your trauma, PTSD, anxiety & grief constantly getting activated? Do you feel like you can never get beyond what has happened to you? Together we will create a warm, compassionate, and understanding environment to help you get in touch and learn how to deal with the rollercoaster of emotions. I have developed a unique approach through building the therapeutic relationship to work with individuals struggling with stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma response, and self- harm. My clinical experience, calm demeanor, and aspiration for trust, help build meaningful relationships with clients through exploration of life. I have been a clinical social worker since 2017 and have a life long history of working with children and families. My career as a social worker has taken me on many paths including child welfare, crisis response teams, hospital emergency room response, medical clinic behavioral health, hospice (most spiritual work ever), and meanwhile have always had my private pratice. I love to incorporate animal assisted therapy as who doesn't love dogs and horses? My speciality is working with trauma and I am constantly training to have the most up to date skills and be the best in my field.

Therapist

I believe therapy is a conversation about where you want to go and what stands in your way. Each individual is seen through their potential, not their problems. I am a compassionate listener and a dedicated companion along your path to healing. It's important to create a space where we can confront all obstacles and explore all possibilities together.
