Mee-Hyea Kim, LPC

Mee-Hyea Kim is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with a decade of clinical experience. She holds a Master’s Degree in Psychoanalytic Counseling from Centenary College, affiliated with the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis - a graduate training that emphasizes how early relationships and unconscious patterns shape current emotional life. In addition to formal psychoanalytic training, she is trained in cognitive behavioral approaches and draws on a range of methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and a broad spectrum of other challenges including mood disorders, parenting difficulties, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Mee-Hyea has worked across many clinical settings, including in-home therapy, residential treatment centers, group homes, partial care programs, and psychiatric hospitals, and she has substantial experience in crisis intervention through participation in the Bergen County Psychiatric Screening Program. Her practice includes work with children, adults, and couples from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and she brings that background to complex co-occurring issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems.

Her therapeutic stance is collaborative, grounded, and nonjudgmental. She partners with clients to cultivate mindfulness, healthy coping skills, and insight into emotional patterns, with the goal of reducing debilitating symptoms and breaking free from unhelpful cycles. For convenience, she provides sessions via phone and telehealth, offering flexible ways to access therapy that fit clients’ lives.
