Hyun Hee (Hunny) Kang
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Specializing in trauma, anxiety, and life transitions, using EMDR, somatic therapy, CBT, and DBT to help you heal, grow, and build a meaningful life.
With a Master of Social Work from NYU and certifications in complex trauma, grief, case management, and cognitive disorders in aging, I provide a supportive space where you can explore your experiences and build resilience. I specialize in supporting those navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, physical abuse, grief, and life transitions. My approach is relational, inclusive, and tailored to your needs, drawing from EMDR, somatic therapy, CBT, DBT, and parts work to help process emotions, reduce distress, and create meaningful change. I have experience working with older adults, individuals with medical disabilities, and young professionals questioning their careers and life paths. I understand how identity, culture, and life circumstances shape mental health, and I prioritize a therapy experience that feels validating and empowering. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, we’ll work together to help you find clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of well-being.
