Samuel Shin

Samuel Shin

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


You're an Asian man who desires authenticity, healing and transformation. My name is Samuel, and I help heart-centered, truth-seeking Asian men level up and become the best versions of themselves in their career, relationships and lives. Clients who work best with me have tried things like therapy, workshops, meditation, self-development, but haven't been able to crack the code on specific patterns that continue to sabotage one or two areas of their lives. After doing this for 15 years, I can confidently say that the work is simple, but not easy. It requires you to dive in, be vulnerable, and face things you haven't want to look at.
