Dr Euna Oh

Founder, Director, &

Licensed psychologist (PSY25343)

Having grown up in South Korea, I embarked  on a journey to fulfill my childhood aspiration of becoming a psychologist.  As an international student, I pursued my academic goals in the United States and obtained my PhD degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. 

​

I am a licensed psychologist in California with nearly 20 years of clinical experience.  I have worked as a staff psychologist at a counseling center and as a private practitioner, providing therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds.  I am also an accomplished author and presenter, with a focus on multicultural issues.  I enjoy sharing my expertise by providing trainings and consultations to other licensed and trainee clinicians.

​

My approach is compassionate, encouraging, and culturally sensitive, and I have a wealth of experience in addressing a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, intergenerational conflict, trauma, and cultural adjustment. 

​

I utilize an integrative approach that incorporates multiculturalism, emotional-focused therapy, attachment theory, acceptance-based treatment, and trauma informed treatment. 

​

I am also passionate about helping couples and families and I can conduct psychotherapy in both English and Korean.​​​​​

Dr Terry Choi

Registered psychological associate

​I understand that you may be seeking assistance in navigating through personal struggles.  I am dedicated to support you in accessing your inner resilience and wisdom to make meaningful changes in your life. Through empathic engaging guidance, we can work towards self-discovery, growth, and adaptation. 

I was born and raised in South Korea until sixteen.  As a clinician, I leverage my diverse cultural background to help clients establish a coherent sense of self and reconcile conflicting values.  With my upbringing in South Korea and experience as an international student in Canada, and an immigrant life in the U.S,  I possess a profound comprehension of the complexities of identity formation and the importance of cultural sensitivity in therapy.

​

​My therapeutic approach is eclectic psychotherapy, mainly influenced by acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma informed sensorimotor psychotherapy, and inner child work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  

I can conduct psychotherapy in Korean and English languages.

Mary Kallaher

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate

I have lived in 4 countries and had to learn two foreign languages as an adult.  Living in different countries and learning new languages as an adult is challenging, but it also provides opportunities for personal growth and understanding of diverse cultures.  Each culture brings its own set of challenges and opportunities from adapting to work environments to making connections with people from different backgrounds.

I married someone of another culture which adds another layer of richness and complexity.  It's wonderful to have a multicultural family that offers a unique perspective on blending cultures and finding common ground.  However, balancing individualistic and communal worldviews can present challenges, especially when it comes family dynamics and traditions.  This duality can be both a strength and a source of tension, but it also provides a unique vantage point from which you can appreciate and understand diverse cultural practices and viewpoints.

​

As a highly educated and experienced clinical trainee, I have received my bachelor's degree from Princeton University, my first's master degree from Columbia University, and my master's in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University.  I have also been trained at the Southern California Counseling Center, where I worked with diverse populations and trauma, and with The Bridge Lab, where I worked with underserved children and families.

As a clinician, my focus is on helping couples, families, and individuals reduce conflict and increase satisfaction in their relationships and daily lives.  My goal is to alleviate emotional distress, control anxiety, and help clients feel more in control of their reactions.

I utilize various techniques, including EFT existentialism, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help clients identify their values and create a strength-based concept of themselves.

​​

​I also have a great passion towards working with a neurodiverse population.  If you require the support of a neurodiverse ally, I am available to assist you in any way possible.

​

I can conduct therapy in French and Italian. 

Dr Andi Lee

Registered psychological Associate

Having been raised both in the Philadelphia area and Shanghai, China, my interest in multiculturalism sparked in moving from a city where I was a racial minority to one where I was within the racial majority, but still identified as a "foreigner." Since then, I have been curious about fostering and exploring belonging for Global Majority members.

I recently completed a predoctoral internship at Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services and doctoral degree in Clinical-Community Psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  I have worked in counseling centers, academic medical settings, and community mental health clinics, offering individual and group psychotherapy alongside psychological assessment with clients aged 3 to 78 with a range of presentations, including mood disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, chronic pain, and grief.

​

My passion lies in working with LGBTQIA+ Global Majority clients healing from racial trauma.  My theoretical orientation is grounded in the two interrelated philosophies of liberation psychology (Martin-Baró, 1989) and disability justice, which examines disability and ableism amongst other intersecting oppressions (Berne, Mingus, Milbern, 2005).  Both aim to disrupt power hierarchies, prioritize interdependence, and promote leadership by those most marginalized.  As such, I use an integrative strengths-based and trauma-informed approach that centers the lived experiences of clients oppressed across historical, socioeconomic, and political contexts to promote social justice action and psychological healing and freedom.  This integrative approach includes feminist, cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and multicultural approaches in my work to build my client’s self-awareness, empowerment, and capacity for individual and social change.
 

Outside of work, I enjoy organizing with comrades for global liberation and disability justice, dancing, and practicing gentle parenting with her toddler, cat, and dog.

I conduct therapy in English and I also understand and speak Mandarin and Spanish.
