Dawoon Ko is a wonderful therapist. She is highly knowledgeable as well as compassionate, and working with her has brought positive results in a short period of time. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been matched with her.

Dawoon (Daisy) is very understanding and she actually listens to what you are saying and works off that. She knows ways to help with your situation which is good!

Dawoon Ko is a very patient listener! I am very detailed & metaphoric with my words and she understood thoroughly right off the bat. Informative & and Kind, my first session she allowed me to let the tears roll in peace as it helped relieve me for the concert I attended later on that day. I highly recommend!
