Rachel Kim, Ph.D.

I enjoy working with young adults and professionals who are motivated to engage in therapy to work through life's unexpected obstacles and struggles that can impact our emotional and psychological health. I hope to create a safe therapeutic space built on honesty, trust and collaboration, resulting in meaningful insights and understanding of oneself. There is nothing more important than finding a good fit with your therapist as I believe this is fundamental in building rapport and creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I approach the first appointment as an opportunity to get to know your needs, goals for therapy and to assess the potential of working together. I work best with individuals who are motivated to engage in therapy with a positive mind and hopeful outlook.

I hope to work with you and guide you to gain meaningful understanding and insight into your life by making positive changes that promote emotional and physical health.

I received my Ph.D from Columbia University and completed my clinical training at Stanford University. * At this time, I do not treat any self-harming behaviors or thoughts, active substance use or history of psychiatric hospitalization.
