Hyangmi " Mimi" Kang
New to Grow
I am a Licensed Therapist and Registered Play Therapist with experience supporting children, families, and adults. My work is grounded in a warm, humanistic approach informed by Adlerian principles, integrating play therapy, attachment-based work, and DIR/Floortime to meet each client’s developmental and emotional needs. I partner closely with parents through coaching and guidance to strengthen connection and support growth beyond sessions. I also work with adults experiencing a range of mental health disorders, offering a supportive space for emotional exploration, healing, and personal growth.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I will review your intake information and take time to understand the reasons you are seeking therapy and the goals you hope to achieve. We will focus on building a warm, empathetic connection while exploring your concerns.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my approach is the warmth and genuine care I bring to each session, along with both professional expertise and personal insight as a mother. I strive to deeply understand each client’s unique experience—whether child, parent, or adult—creating a safe, supportive space for authentic expression, reflection, and growth. I emphasize collaboration, working closely with parents and adult clients to offer practical tools and insights that foster meaningful, lasting change both in and beyond therapy. In my work with adults, I provide a thoughtful, empathetic space to explore emotional experiences, relationships, and life transitions. Using a relational, strengths-based approach, I help individuals recognize patterns, build resilience, and move toward more balanced and fulfilling lives. Across all ages, my goal is to support deeper connection, emotional growth, and lasting change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I support both adults and children in navigating emotional and relational challenges. With adults, I offer a safe, reflective, and collaborative space to explore life experiences, relationship patterns, and personal growth, helping them gain insight and develop greater emotional awareness and resilience. I work with a relational and strengths-based approach, meeting each individual where they are and supporting meaningful, lasting change. With children, I use developmentally appropriate, play-based and relationship-centered approaches to help them express emotions, process experiences, and build stronger connections. I also work closely with parents through coaching and guidance, helping them better understand and support their child’s needs in everyday moments, strengthening the parent–child relationship along the way.

My treatment methods
Humanistic
I use a humanistic approach grounded in Adlerian principles, emphasizing empathy, encouragement, and the therapeutic relationship. In my practice, I help clients explore their beliefs, gain insight into their life patterns, and develop a stronger sense of belonging and purpose while working toward meaningful change.
Play Therapy
While I have a strong foundation in working with children through play therapy, I also work with adults and seniors, using the power of play and a supportive therapeutic approach to help them process emotions, navigate life transitions, and build deeper connections.
Attachment-based
I integrate attachment-based therapy to strengthen the parent–child relationship and foster secure, healthy emotional bonds. I also support adults in understanding their relationships and emotional patterns, creating space for growth and healing.
