Dr. Minsu Kim, Psychologist
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.

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.
