Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
Tess is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Mexico
Hello, my name is Tess Kim and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor. I was born and raised in S. Korea and immigrated to the US at the age of 18 years old. I understand changes can be challenging, and difficult experiences in life can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of direction; it can be hard to know what to do. With compassion and knowledge, I will support you to work through issues while identifying your inner strengths to be a happier and healthier version of you. I describe myself as compassionate and understanding. I look forward to taking the journey of healing with you.
