About Rev. Alexander Yoo
Rev. Alexander Yoo offers a change-oriented, meaning-focused approach that invites exploration of life’s larger questions while providing practical guidance. He frames his role on this service more as a life coach than as a setting for extended, in-depth psychotherapy, responding to whatever a person needs in the moment - sometimes offering an attentive listening presence, other times providing direct advice, feedback, or opinions. He aims to help individuals gain relief and clarity during life transitions or while pursuing specific personal goals, and he works with people regardless of culture, background, political views, philosophy, or past experiences.
Ordained as a clergyperson and experienced as a hospice chaplain, he brings both spiritual perspective and clinical training to his work. He holds a Master of Divinity (MDiv) and a Master of Arts (MA), and he is an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. If desired, spirituality or religious ideas can be integrated into conversations; he is familiar with many religious traditions, earth-based practices, and alternative belief systems and adapts discussions to each person’s preferences.
Whether someone is seeking coaching, help coping with transitions, or short-term guidance to clarify decisions, Rev. Alexander Yoo adapts his approach to meet the immediate needs presented in each session. His style emphasizes meaning-making while attending to practical steps that can bring relief and greater understanding.
