About Naomi Kim
Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. As an LPC she holds state licensure to provide mental health counseling and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work, combining broad clinical exposure with a practical, skills-based approach to care.
She is a 14-year Air Force veteran who has lived in multiple states and spent two years in South Korea, experiences that inform her understanding of transitions, cultural adjustment, and military-related concerns. Much of her clinical career has been spent working on an inpatient psychiatric unit, where she developed extensive experience addressing depression, anxiety, and the ways those conditions affect self-confidence and daily functioning. Earlier roles included work with an agency closely tied to Children and Youth Services, which shaped her familiarity with family dynamics, parenting challenges, and communication issues, and she has also supported adults with developmental disabilities by focusing on strengths and practical skills.
Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She uses CBT to help clients understand connections among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to challenge automatic negative thinking. DBT skills are used to build distress tolerance and improve interpersonal effectiveness, including learning to set boundaries and say no to unwanted requests. As a trauma-informed clinician, she does not bring up or focus on traumatic events in sessions and instead offers relaxation and grounding techniques to help clients manage intrusive memories and stay present.
Naomi works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, anxiety, anger, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep problems, parenting issues, self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD. She also offers attention to aging and geriatric matters, caregiver stress, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and veteran and armed forces issues. Her approach emphasizes practical skills, problem solving, and respectful collaboration as clients navigate life changes and crossroads.
