About me

I am a bilingual (Korean and English) licensed psychologist in Maryland and Washington, and I've been helping people over the past 8 years. I've been working in various settings, including hospitals, community centers, and private practice, helping a wide range of people struggling with intimacy issues, trust issue, work-related stress, feeling worried, feeling depressed, familial conflict, feeling unmotivated, and other psychological problems.

In therapy sessions, I want you to feel comfortable and safe. You can share your thoughts and feelings with me, and you don't have to worry about being judged. It takes a lot of courage to want things to be better and take the first steps to make a change. I'm here to help you give you the strength to do that.

I'm really excited about the change to work with you. I look forward to helping you on your journey to feeling better and happier.

Dr. Kim is very validating in his approach and understanding. His communication style makes me feel heard, while encouraging me to consider other perspectives and I leave each session feeling refreshed & calm. He has helped me so much in a short time and I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone looking for services

Written on Jan 08, 2025 after therapy with Minsu for 1 month on issues concerning trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue

Big YES! My life got better and my anxiety lighter as I continued my therapy with Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim helped me when I needed a professional I could trust as a safe place to share some profound past experiences. I felt valued, understood, and hopeful after each session. I feel better about myself. I feel better about life. Thank you, Dr. Kim and Betterhelp.
