Naomi Kim, LPC

Naomi Kim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a state-licensed mental health professional, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a national credential that reflects meeting recognized standards in counseling. She is a 14-year Air Force veteran who has lived in Florida, several other U.S. states, and South Korea, and now practices from Pennsylvania. With 15 years of professional experience, Naomi has built a broad clinical background that spans inpatient psychiatric care, family services, and work with adults with developmental disabilities.

She spent 13 years working on an inpatient psychiatric unit, gaining deep familiarity with depression, anxiety, and how mood disorders can affect daily functioning and self-confidence. Earlier roles included collaborating with agencies connected to Children and Youth Services, which developed her skills in addressing family conflict, parenting concerns, and communication challenges. Her work with adults with developmental disabilities emphasizes a strengths-based approach that focuses on possibilities and practical solutions rather than limitations.

Naomi uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and is trauma-informed in her approach to difficult memories and experiences. She teaches relaxation techniques, problem-solving strategies, distress tolerance skills, and concrete tools for setting healthy boundaries. Her clinical focus includes stress, mood disorders, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Drawing on military and clinical experience, Naomi provides grounded, practical care for people navigating crossroads in life, helping them build coping skills and clearer decision-making while honoring individual strengths and goals.
