Naomi Kim, LPC

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She brings the perspective of a 14-year Air Force veteran and a life shaped by moves across several states and a couple of years living in South Korea to her counseling work, blending cultural awareness with long-term clinical practice.

Much of her career has been spent on an inpatient psychiatric unit, where she developed deep experience treating depression and anxiety and understanding how these conditions affect well-being and self-confidence. Earlier work with an agency connected to Children and Youth Services provided experience with family dynamics, parenting concerns, and communication challenges. She has also supported adults with developmental disabilities and emphasizes exploring strengths and possibilities rather than limitations.

Clinically she uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that clarifies how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact - and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - which teaches practical skills for managing relationships and tolerating distress. As a trauma-informed clinician she does not bring up or focus on traumatic events in sessions and incorporates relaxation techniques to help clients stay present and manage distress. She helps clients build boundaries, improve decision-making, and strengthen self-esteem.

Naomi works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy challenges, sleep and parenting difficulties, career questions, ADHD, and aging or caregiver stress. She offers care in English and works with international clients, applying practical tools and steady support as people face crossroads in their lives.
