JIN H. PARK MA, LPCC (she/her)

As a psychotherapist, my role is to be a constant and steady source of psychological, emotional, and relational support for my clients. Together we do a deep dive into uncovering and understanding the origin of their current and often long-standing distress and struggles to help build a healthier and more fulfilling present life and future. I believe the therapeutic relationship that is formed between myself and my clients, combined with the bespoke therapeutic tools offered, is a powerful resource for healing and growth.  My approach is eclectic in that I work through a relational, psychodynamic, trauma informed and cognitive behavioral lens. 

I work with adult individuals (age 18+) who struggle with a myriad of challenges but my primary focus is on self esteem and identity, relationship to self and others, issues of anxiety (general, specific and social), depression (persistent depression and acute depressive spikes) and intergenerational trauma (traumatic experiences, often relationship oriented, passed down from generation to generation). I welcome all with the only expectation that you are wanting and ready to commit to the hard yet rewarding work of participating in therapy.

A little something personal about me: I’ve lived most of my life in New York City along with brief residencies in other bustling cities including Los Angeles and Chicago. During the pandemic, when it felt like a good time to make a change again, I made my way to the beautiful Twin Cities. When I’m not in therapist mode, you can find me embracing my two amazing dogs or searching for delicious food establishments to frequent with my husband.
