Saeromi Kim, Phd

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Mental Health Educator with 20+ years of experience in psychotherapy, mental health education, prevention, and consultation.

I am Korean-Venezuelan-American and speak English, Spanish, and some Korean. I received my BA in Psychology at Brown University and a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Clark University. I have lived in Los Angeles, Providence (Rhode Island), Caracas, Seoul, and Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain).

Therapy

I am guided by the particular needs and personality of each client, as it is my strong belief that one size does not fit all. Across all modalities, a strong therapeutic relationship is vital, as well as the expansion of psychological flexibility.

Therapeutic Approaches

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Psychodynamic • Narrative • Humanistic • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) • Compassion-Based Modalities

Speciality Areas

Mood and anxiety disorders • trauma recovery • relationship distress • gender identity concerns • grief/loss • attention/organizational concerns • and identity related concerns (e.g. LGBTQ+, BIPOC, transnational, neurodivergent)

Consultation & Trainings

I have also worked with mental health start-ups as an expert in behavioral health treatment modalities and cultural adaptations for specific populations.
