Couples therapists in Spokane, WA

Hello! I'm Kyong. Thank you for being here!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 7 years of clinical experience, dedicated to supporting individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds, struggling with cultural identity, and unhealthy boundaries and relationships.

Also, are you high functioning but quietly exhausted? Experiencing corporate and tech burnout, imposter syndrome & leadership anxiety? I help tech professionals, corporate leaders, and busy overachievers navigate severe burnout, career anxiety, and chronic stress using your in-network insurance.

I have a Master's in Counseling and have practiced in the field of mental health for nearly two decades. My experience as a therapist includes extensive training and work in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, women’s issues, and spirituality. I am licensed in both California (LPCC) and Washington (LMHC), and I’m a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). I also hold a certification in Grief (CGP). I emphasize a whole-person approach to care, considering the full spectrum of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors that impact your overall health and well-being.

I'm a board-certified psychotherapist specializing in marriage/couple's therapy, trauma, and working with first responders. My passion is to help people live happier, more fulfilling lives. When I first became a clinician 11+ years ago, I worked in community mental health and only with children, adolescents, teens, and their families. Now, in private practice, my passion focuses on helping adults learn how to give and receive unconditional love. That takes form in a variety of ways. I work with teens as well, however since my practice is solely telehealth it is very limited; some conditions need a higher level of care.

There are some things to know about my practice, to ensure I can meet your needs regarding response time etc. Work/life balance and self-care are important for all of us. While we have the ability to reach anyone, anywhere, and at any time of day, boundaries can help us stay on track with our goals and keep us from getting overwhelmed. With that said, I try not to log into work on my days off or after a certain time in the evening. This helps me show up as my best self for you during our appointments. Additionally, I am self-employed and don't work in an office, so I don't have a receptionist who returns calls or emails for me. There can be a wait before I respond to your message. If this style can work for you, I'd love to become part of your care team and help you with your goals. Take a look at my calendar - you are seeing all of my current openings and possibilities for scheduling your appointments. If that works for you please schedule a free consultation call and we can chat in more detail about how I can help!

I am a Washington-Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I enjoy partnering with individuals and couples to uncover the root causes of their unhappiness and malfunction in order to heal old wounds, create new meaning, and ultimately, feel better.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe mental health is an essential part of living a grounded and meaningful life. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and high personal standards that often lead to negative self-talk. Through Essential Being Therapy, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build self-compassion, and reconnect with their essential being.

I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and supportive—not cold or clinical. I’m a licensed therapist who genuinely cares about the people I work with, and I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Whether you’re coming in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected in your relationship, or unsure where to start, you’re welcome here exactly as you are. I work with teens (13+) and adults, individuals and couples, and I value honesty, compassion, and real connection in the therapy space. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your growth.
