About me
Hello, my name is Sarah Kang. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University in 2010. I have over ten years of experience seeing children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My clinical experience includes treating individuals with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, life transitions, anger management, issues with self-worth, and grief and loss. I help adults who struggle with relationships, perfectionism, self-care, and self-compassion.
Philosophy & Therapeutic Approach
What needs healing, understanding, or exploring shows up in the therapy space. I believe that individuals have the ability to create powerful and long lasting changes that are present in feelings of connection, joy, internal peace, and courage. I enjoy connecting and understanding one’s unique story, hopes, fears, pain, and joys. By creating a safe space and by taking an exploratory stance and understanding where you are stuck, I work collaboratively with you and pay attention to patterns and explore internal mental blocks that prevent you from truly living and experiencing connection. I believe that therapy is hard work, but it is the best kind of work one can do as a form of growth and self-care.
Treatment Modalities
I utilize an integrative approach and combine narrative, cognitive behavioral, emotion focused, and psychodynamic therapy depending on your needs and goals. I incorporate elements of mindfulness to strengthen the mind and body connection.
