Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.3 mi away • Herndon, VA


I'm Ji-Hae Park, a licensed clinical social worker and certified hypnotherapist based in Herndon, Virginia, with 31 years of experience working with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, and major life transitions. I'm Korean-American, and I understand the particular ways that cultural background, identity, and family history intersect with how we process pain — whether or not that's what brings you in. My practice is built for people who are ready to go deeper than coping. I see clients both in person in Northern Virginia and virtually throughout the state, and I accept Aetna and Cigna/Evernorth.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Centreville, VA


I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.

They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.
