Veterans and First Responders
Working with first responders has always been a passion for Dr. Kim and while in private practice over the past few years, she has broadened this interest to include medical professionals and veterans. Dr. Kim is passionate about helping those who serve others. She has been described as “unflappable” when it comes to hearing trauma experiences from veterans and helping them process through those experiences to get to a place of greater peace. Dr. Kim has experience working with members of law enforcement and fire personnel as well. Please feel free to reach out to talk about whether she might be a good fit for you or your loved one.
“The heart’s affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree; if the tree loses one strong branch; it will suffer but it does not die; it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place.”
