RINA JUN, MA, LMFT

3/10/26: My practice is currently closed to new clients.

I (she/her) am a licensed mental health therapist who sees adult individuals who wish to explore and deepen their insight into the following (but not limited to):

• Anxiety and depression, themes including impostor syndrome; burnout (including caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue); dating/online dating; attachment wounds; navigating repair and rupture in relationships; self-worth; identity; internalized capitalism; loneliness; chronic health conditions; unsustainable narratives about obligation, guilt, sacrifice, and love
• Grief and loss, including having lost a loved one to suicide. Grief exists in infinite forms and is defined by The Grief Recovery Handbook as the “normal and natural reaction to significant emotional loss of any kind. Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of, or change in, a familiar pattern of behavior.” We can mourn the loss of a real or imagined person/place/thing/idea. We can grieve something we wish we could have had or something we know we may or will never have.
• Immigrant experience and multicultural themes
• Multigenerational themes (including sandwich generation, which describes simultaneously caring for members of the previous and next generations)
• Highly Sensitive Person designation or having Sensory Processing Sensitivity
• Neurodivergence/neurominority (whether it’s ADHD, AuDHD, Autism–the non-neurotypical spectrum)
• Trauma
• Altered states of consciousness
• All things existential
• The state of the world

The world can often feel like a cold, scary, and unforgiving place. Many of us were socialized in environments that discouraged or explicitly forbid openly communicating our thoughts and feelings. We were taught that not only would expressing our inner experiences accomplish nothing, but also that we should just “get over it,” “be positive,” “be grateful that at least you’re not (insert a ‘worse’ situation),” and other similarly dismissive responses to our attempts to be honest about our pain.

Fortunately, we don’t have to hold on to everything we’ve learned. We can replace old knowledge with new knowledge about how we want to think, feel, and behave.

If you are experiencing a difficult period in your life, please know that you do not have to figure out everything on your own. You do not have to heal alone. Therapy can provide a safer space where you can learn to examine your relationship with yourself, others, and environment from a nonjudgmental, compassionate stance and practice more helpful ways of being you and handling–maybe even embracing–life’s obstacles.

No one but you knows what it’s like to be you and have experienced all that you have, so who better than you to take on the exciting challenge of nurturing a compassionate, loving, and stronger relationship with yourself?
