Gyuseok Choi
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
Specializing in mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma with a culturally competent, evidence-based approach to foster growth and resilience.
As a therapist, I specialize in treating mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma while providing a safe, supportive space for clients to work toward their self-determined goals. I have experience working with undocumented families, advocating for them in legal settings, and addressing the challenges that come with significant hardships. My practice also includes helping adolescents and adults with neurodivergence and international students navigate cultural transitions. I draw from CBT and psychodynamic therapy, tailoring evidence-based approaches to each client’s unique needs. My emphasis on cultural competency and attentive listening ensures clients feel seen and understood. Beyond therapy, I am committed to mental health advocacy and hosting community events that foster awareness and accessibility. Together, we’ll focus on building practical skills, exploring emotions, and finding pathways to resilience and growth. Therapy is a space to feel empowered, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges.
