Nanci H Kim LMFT

I am a Korean-American psychotherapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area and was raised in South Korea, Hawaii and California. I have over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist and over 16 years in educational settings in both the United States and internationally. I am currently licensed in California, Colorado and New Mexico.

Therapeutic Approach

As a humanistic therapist, I have come to trust the client’s ability to heal from negative experiences and difficulties with the proper guidance and opportunity. I believe the brain and body are designed to heal, and practice the encouragement of this ability in the therapeutic process. So, my therapeutic approach is to meet the client where they are and provide a comfortable and neutral environment for clients to be able to move through their healing process.

Specialization

Trauma Processing with EMDR and Brainspotting
I am certified in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, which are two brain based therapies that help individuals heal from past negative and traumatic experiences by accessing the brain’s ability to heal itself.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (any movement that crosses the midline of the body is bilateral) to desensitize and process memories; while, Brainspotting uses focused mindfulness to draw out and process memories. Both are power therapies that provide healing and recovery.
