More about Minsu
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- Psychologist
I am a bilingual (Korean and English) licensed psychologist in Maryland and Washington, and I've been helping people over the past 8 years. I've been working in various settings, including hospitals, community centers, and private practice, helping a wide range of people struggling with intimacy issues, trust issue, work-related stress, feeling worried, feeling depressed, familial conflict, feeling unmotivated, and other psychological problems.
In therapy sessions, I want you to feel comfortable and safe. You can share your thoughts and feelings with me, and you don't have to worry about being judged. It takes a lot of courage to want things to be better and take the first steps to make a change. I'm here to help you give you the strength to do that.
I'm really excited about the change to work with you. I look forward to helping you on your journey to feeling better and happier.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
