Touch your pain

without getting stuck

in overwhelm or terror

Comprehensive Trauma Therapy

I help you feel belonging with yourself. I help you with blocks to a lasting experience of compassion, self-trust, and fulfilling relationships.

So that pain can be less painful. It might even go away.

How is this possible?

Your brain can unlearn painful (untrue) things you learned from hard experiences (like, I’m all alone, I’m unworthy, I’m bad) - only IF you come closer to your pain with “I’m here with you” energy.

Don’t worry if your pain scares you or you want to run away from it. Or if you think you’ll get overwhelmed and stuck in it. Or if compassion and connection with yourself feels impossible.

I shape the therapeutic space so that we meet you exactly where you are - so respectfully and kindly - that going closer to the pain begins to feel okay. I also won’t leave you alone in pain. I’ll ground us in the here and now. I’ll help you understand your pain and how you protect yourself from pain, in a way that deepens self-trust and compassion.

We’ll grow your capacity to touch your pain without getting stuck in overwhelm or terror. When we do that, your pain can transform into true inner belonging. Then, your brain can finally take in new learning and actually believe something else to be true about you or your life. This frees up space for peace and presence in your life and relationships.

    • trauma - racial, sexual, physical, relational, intergenerational, ancestral, systemic (e.g., racism, sexism, fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, colonial violence)

    • energetic states - anxiety, depression, dissociation, stress, panic, rage/anger, overwhelm, burnout, hopelessness

    • behavioral - emotional reactivity, addiction, perfectionism, OCD, tics

    • relationship with self - inner critic, shame, judgment

    • relational challenges - codependency, conflicts, boundaries, attachment

    • life changes - relocation, children, divorce

    • grief and loss - death, personal loss, and collective (e.g., climate crisis, state violence)

    • identity exploration and challenges - sexuality, gender, race, culture, BDSM / Kink, consensual nonmonogamy / polyamory

    • lived experiences: chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, sex work

  • I offer an integrative, experiential, neurobiology-informed method of trauma therapy.

    I’m certified in the STAIR Method and trained in Deep Brain Reorienting to support trauma healing.

    I’m most influenced by brain healing science, parts work, somatics, decolonial practices, and my ancestors.

  • Primarily zoom sessions.

    During the first two weeks of the month: We’ll meet for a 90 minute session for 2 consecutive weeks. Each 90 minute session is $600. That equals $1200 for the month.

    During the last two weeks of the month: Time off from sessions. I encourage practice of skills outside of therapy. I’ll support you in developing skills that target lasting change. No fee here. 

    I offer this structure of therapy that’s neurobiology-backed so you can experience deep healing and lasting change.

    I don’t take insurance but provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.

Never tried longer sessions?

See what clients are saying

  • The journey of therapy with Bokyung has been life-changing in ways I never thought possible.

    My connection and relationship with my innermost feelings and trauma are starting to heal and transform, thanks to our extended sessions.

    The spaciousness of longer sessions allows my system to not feel anxious about "getting through all the things."

    I can’t emphasize enough the difference this has made in helping me experience and recognize real "wins" for my innermost, wounded parts.

    I’m profoundly grateful for Bokyung’s skill, dedication, and their collaborative, creative, compassionate, and grounded approach as a therapist.

    Their wisdom in suggesting more time has been invaluable—it's definitely worth it!

  • For those who keep a lot trapped in, you deserve the time and care.

    I’m a client who values time efficiency and I have a hard time spending money on myself. 

    Through longer sessions, the amount of repair work I’ve done with myself hasn’t been achieved with any of the therapists I’ve worked with in the last 5 years.

    I don't know how I called myself an adult because I've never been emotionally regulated using any of the embodied skills I learned. 

    I was scared of doing longer sessions. I thought I’d be permanently sad forever. I’ve never been able to understand my deeper inner world. I’ve been afraid that it’ll swallow me whole.

    I never knew grief work could be pleasurable. 

    I’m now a better therapist and friend. I take better care of myself. I feel like I came back to myself. 

    You just need to try it and trust the process.
