Hi, I’m Kelly(Kyung)! I provide counseling for individuals and couples, with a focus on supporting Korean-speaking couples while also working with English-speaking clients. Recognized as a Child Mom Approved Counselor in 2023, I bring over 20 years of ministry experience and counseling training from Dallas Theological Seminary. I support clients navigating anxiety, grief, and life or cultural transitions, helping couples move toward stronger, healthier, and more connected relationships.
Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.
People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!
Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, explore what’s weighing on you, and discover your own strength. I work with teens, adults, women, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the stress that comes with everyday life. As a bilingual counselor fluent in English and Spanish, I also understand how culture, family expectations, and personal experiences can shape our emotional well-being. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and work toward the life you want to create—one step at a time.

My story is a bit unique as to how I became a psychotherapist. I studied abroad in Costa Rica during college where I learned the Spanish language and where my love of adventure and exploration began. After moving to Los Angeles for several years, I decided to then move to New York City to pursue a career in music which is my first love. I was living in NYC and working for Sony Music on September 11, 2001 which changed my life dramatically. I decided to return to The University of Texas in Austin and obtained my Masters in Social Work in an effort to pursue a career in helping others which is my second love.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Relational Model as I believe that relationships, both with ourselves and others, are what allow us each to feel fulfilled, secure, and empowered. My hope is that we can work together as a team to unlock your inner strengths so that you can confidently manage life's stressors in the past, present, and future.
I love working with adolescents and I have a warm, non-judgmental, humorous, but direct approach that seems to fit well with teenagers. I have worked for many years in community mental health and as such have been successful with almost every diagnosis that exists, all age groups, and all genders. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Denton, TX
Searching for therapists in Denton starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People look for therapy in Denton for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Denton therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs. A therapist’s profile may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or other types of support.
In a smaller city like Denton, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can give you more choice while still helping you work with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their style feels like a fit. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Denton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual and in-person availability. You can browse profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
