Somi P. Han

I believe the goal of therapy is for the client to feel seen and understood, and that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. By developing a caring, empathic, and trusting relationship with my clients, it becomes possible for the individual to make connections, deepen his/her awareness and gain clarity about relationships, problems and personal patterns. It is through this process that growth and change can be made. I have a wide range of clinical interests and experiences, such as relationships (romantic/peer/professional) issues, parenting, mood disorders (e.g. feeling depressed), anxiety (e.g. excessive worrying), domestic violence, grief, school performance, family conflict and crisis intervention. I received my B.A. in Philosophy from Scripps College and my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California.
