Meet the experts who would agree with me about the impact of childhood trauma.
These medical doctors followed their conscience more than what money incentive can lead them. Though the approaches for recovery process are different among these scholars, the majority agree that trauma is behind most mental health problems that can be treated better through trust-based human relationships and counseling.
Colin Ross, M.D. concluded that trauma is behind most mental disorders, including dissociative disorders.
Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. published the book titled "The body keeps the score."
Gabor Mate, M.D. believes that trauma is behind most addiction.
Peter A. Levine, Ph.D. published the book titled "Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma."
Dr. Parens had been
my mentor.
Testimonies from Past Clients
Dr. Kim thankfully saved myself to become the owner of my own life. I had counseling with Dr. Kim for about close to 3 years. Before Dr. Kim, I have been receiving numerous counseling with many psychologists and psychiatrists for about 10 years. Also, I had practiced Dr. Burn’s CBT checklists for many years. Bu, it was very discouraging when I experienced the same emotional difficulties under certain situations.
Dr. Kim is a greatly attentive listener with empathy and sympathy, feels the same pain that I feel, and tries to understand my past deeper than anyone. That made me feel more important and valuable, and my self-esteem grew. I finally knew how to forgive my errors and shortcomings by understanding how my past had been affecting me. Now, I see myself with sympathy and can embrace myself and love myself. I learned that emotional growth and maturity may take lifelong, but knowing the possibility of improvement and experiencing progress in daily life gave me vigorous positive energy.
I believe Dr. Kim is a great emotional healer. In every session, he made me feel refreshed and opened my eyes to see my greatness and not only to forgive myself but others. It changes my thought process profoundly.
I agreed with him that every person has value, and we all have differences in characteristics with pros and cons. I believe that if anyone with self-doubt gets help from Dr. Kim, they may have a great chance to be free from the past and can reform their emotional inner person.
There is no doubt that Dr. Roland Kim’s big heart, knowledge, and counseling techniques and kindness will provide us with great protection and become resources in our homes and society.
Thank you, Dr. Kim.

Roland, I am thankful and grateful for the relationship that we have built over the past year. You have been like a rock for me, someone I could go to without any judgement. You have taught me that I am enough, and I have so much love to give. You have shown me all that was absent from my life, and that this is okay. That there is so much to life than this false anxiety. I look forward to continuing to work with you and further strengthening our relationship, so that I may share it with others also.

Roland listens to your problems and concerns. He’s a person who wants to form a bond with you that goes far beyond regular friendships. If it weren’t for Roland’s experience and insight, I would still be struggling through life. My experience with him has been wonderful. He has helped me to grow and become a better version of myself. Through him, I learned how to forgive myself even when I was against myself. He helped me see the world and life from a different perspective and it completely changed my life. He has been my best advocate. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Kim.

Dr. Kim has been an incredible help for me and my development. I feel lucky to have met such a caring and helpful individual in my life, I consider him a friend after 5 years working with him. I’m a fairly hesitant person and at times was resistant to the process but every time, Dr. Kim would welcome me back and we would continue. Through the process I feel like I’ve grown more in the short time working with Roland and he has helped me develop a set of tools for my thinking and emotional growth as an adult. With Roland, I was able to progress myself emotionally and build the strength to move forward in my life. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree and couldn’t be happier with the decision and I owe Roland so much thanks in his support and encouragement. I highly recommend Roland and for me, having never worked with a psychologist, Roland was patient and I trust his methods and guidance so much.

Dr. Kim helped me get through a difficult time in my life and I know I wouldn’t be where I am today if not for him. He cares about his patients as more than just patients– you can tell when you talk with him. He will work with you, focusing his energy to strengthen you emotionally. He practices a little bit different type of therapy that is more interactive and conversational – i like it because it is not like you are talking to a wall and feel you are being listened to and understood. He is really intelligent, down-to-earth and good for patients of all backgrounds and cultures. It can be hard to find the right therapist so don’t give up if you haven’t had good luck connecting with other therapists so far–Dr. Kim may be the one for you. Life can be tough and we can’t always get through it by ourselves. I hope this review can help someone get help as I did from him.
