Hi, my name is Sue (Soo Kyung Kim) and I am a Clinical Therapist with a deep passion for helping clients from all walks of life to feel understood. I was born in South Korea, but I have had the unique opportunity to live in several different countries, including the United States, France, Japan, and the U.A.E. Having lived within and across multiple cultures, I can relate to the feeling of being caught between two worlds, wanting to honor your roots while also adapting to a new environment. I know that while living abroad can be exciting, it can also bring up challenges like feeling disconnected, or the sense of not quite being at home anywhere. My goal is to provide a warm, safe space where we can explore these feelings together, helping clients reclaim a strong sense of identity and build the tools they need to thrive. I believe therapy is all about creating a trusting relationship where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences free from judgement. Whether you are navigating cultural challenges, identity struggles, or just need someone to talk to, I am here to accompany and guide you on your journey toward healing and growth.

 
 
 

CLINICAL APPROACH

I am a graduate of a master’s program in Counseling Psychology and am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and families in both educational and counselling settings. I worked as a school guidance counsellor for Grades 3–5, providing Social and Emotional lessons in class and individual and group support to help students develop practical skills, manage their emotions, and navigate challenges at school in a safe and supportive space.

I’m highly motivated in Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while grounding my work in a Trauma-informed, Strengths-based approach. I’m also interested in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including person-centered therapy and mindfulness-based practices. I’m genuinely excited to connect with and support clients. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where they feel comfortable sharing their concerns and confident in taking steps toward growth. My experiences living and working across multiple cultures have strengthened my ability to approach clients with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding identity and adjustment. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, build resilience, and achieve personal growth. In my work, I prioritize creating a collaborative, supportive environment tailored to each client’s unique needs.

 
 

INTERESTS, HOBBIES, & FUN FACTS

I have been fortunate to live and work in different roles and cultural settings. I spent most of my childhood overseas, attending the American School of Paris and living in Nashville, Tennessee, experiences that shaped my multicultural identity. I also spent time living in Dubai as a flight attendant with Emirates Airlines, where I got to travel to 72 countries and meet people from a range of different backgrounds. The experience taught me much about the beauty of diversity and the amazing stories everyone has to share.

I love traveling, exploring new places, and staying active. I’m passionate about working out and watching sports, and I take pride in supporting and encouraging growing athletes in competitive environments. Connecting with people, learning new things, and exploring different perspectives are still a big part of who I am, and I’m always looking for ways to grow.
