MiSeon Kang (She/Her)

I am a licensed Creative Arts Psychotherapist in private practice in NY. I currently provide teletherapy to anyone based in New York State.

My personal immigration experience as an Asian-American has given me a keen understanding of the challenges of being the “other” and navigating the complexities of integrating the various identities we hold. I value inclusiveness and welcome adult individuals and couples with intersectional identities of race, family/ethnic heritage, religion/spirituality, health/disabilities, age, gender, and sexual orientation. I bring deep appreciation and expertise for how these identities influence our perception of ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we navigate the broader world.

Also, my previous professional background as a clinical supervisor and program director in NYC social services agencies encompassed extensive support for individuals, couples, and families with children and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds. In my twenty years on the job, I regularly encountered clients with a history of trauma and loss, childhood abuse/neglect, family conflicts, addictions, and mental illness. This grounding has inspired a special interest in working with clients struggling with trauma history, anxiety/depression, self-sabotaging thoughts, dysregulated emotions, psychosomatic symptoms, and relationship challenges.

I am passionate about providing guidance and support for clients with complex trauma, intergenerational trauma, immigration loss/grief, and racial/discrimination trauma. My approach to therapy is psychodynamically oriented, relational, and experiential. I draw from various therapeutic disciplines: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy; Attachment Focused-EMDR; Internal Family System; Somatic Psychotherapy; Mindfulness-based Therapy; Couples Therapy, and Art Therapy.

I offer a warm, collaborative, and compassionate safe space for my clients to feel seen, heard, and understood as unique individuals.
