Hannah Kim, MS, LCPC, NCC at Inspirations Counseling provides individual therapy services to adolescents and adults by offering a safe and encouraging space that supports clients through establishing self-empowerment to overcome their challenges in life. I work with individuals who are ready to invest in their mental health and I make it my goal as a therapist to help each individual make healthy behavioral and cognitive changes that increase the quality of life.

I strive to offer a warm, supportive environment for people to explore their concerns, develop greater self-awareness, and learn new ways of coping in the world. I take a collaborative and active role in helping clients to identify and build a more authentic and purposeful life.

Plagued by unyielding thoughts that constantly interrupt your moments, always finding yourself wrestling, scrutinizing, revisiting, and attempting to make sense of these unwelcome mental intruders? I truly understand and here to help you. Breaking free from the chains of OCD is not just possible—it's a reality many have embraced. My commitment is to help you redefine your interactions with anxiety, encouraging you to face it courageously rather than retreating.

With over 25 years experience treating individuals with caring and compassion, I look forward to helping you decrease your distress and live a fuller and more rewarding life. I treat adults with a wide variety of problems from mood and anxiety disorders, phase of life issues such as separation, divorce, empty-nest, and retirement, to common life stressors such as parenting, work and other relational problems.

We all need a little structure and support as we navigate life’s challenges. I work primarily with adult individuals and couples. I would love to help you push back against anxiety, building a life that feels big and free... or to learn how to trust yourself and gain a deep, clear sense of who you are... or to get out of your head and tune into the language of your body's own innate wisdom... or for you and your partner, to finally break free from dysfunctional patterns and regain a lost sense of connection and attunement to each other.

Maybe you are interested in learning skills to cope with specific behaviors or obsessive thoughts. Perhaps you are seeking validation and a non-judgmental listener. Or, you are not sure what you want from therapy, but you know something in your life does not feel right. If any of this resonates with you, I am here to help your struggles with anxiety, eating disorders, mild depression, life changes and self-esteem. I am confident we can work as a team to move your life toward a path that feels right to you, and help you feel in control of the present time and future.

Living with upsetting intrusive thoughts and time consuming rituals is tiring. Constantly thinking about food and your body is also draining. My passion is helping teens and adults to find freedom from OCD and eating disorders. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I can help. Recovery from an eating disorder, as well as reclaiming your life from OCD is possible.

As a clinician, I am aware that the decision to seek guidance in resolving an issue, is a difficult undertaking. With this in mind, I provide a non-judgemental, safe and supportive setting in which to move forward. I am interactive and direct and have 30 years experience working with adolescents and adults who have confronted and resolved issues with anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma (physical, emotional, sexual), which have impacted their lives.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, or anger? Have you experienced substance use, marriage conflict, or difficult relationships in your family? Do you need help addressing an eating disorder? It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help – and I respect that courage. Together, we will work to discover your strengths, and I can help you leverage those strengths to build coping skills that will help you in everyday life. We will tailor therapy to your needs and goals, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and your own experiences.

Clients often come to me seeking relief from the cycle of being stuck in survival mode and chronic stress. They express a desire to better understand themselves and examine the patterns that may be unconsciously impacting their sense of self, relationships with others, and work life. Clients appreciate each session being adapted to their needs and style.

If life is a journey and you are at a wrong or unfamiliar juncture, I will be a trustworthy guide and companion as you chart your way to your destination. I can help with such roadblocks as depression, anxiety, fear or shame, substance abuse, difficulties in social, romantic, marital or family relationships. Other bumps in the road might involve professional or cultural issues. My promise is to support you consistently and unconditionally. Another promise is that you will (re)discover inner resources with which you can change/enhance any part(s) of your life that you are not satisfied with.

When is anxiety normal and when is it time to get help? You can't turn off your brain at night? Are you avoiding situations that make you nervous? Do you not want to get out of bed and face the day? Are you feeling exhausted by all of the worry? These are signs that anxiety is taking over your life. But you already know that, right? I'm not telling you anything new. The thing about anxiety is that it does not go away on its own and so often people just turn to medication and find that they don't have the strategies to navigate anxiety.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

Life has a way of creating experiences that cause both physical and mental pain, loss, trauma, emotional distress, and challenges. Without notice, we find ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually stuck with little insight of how to move forward or past the experience. I would like to help you navigate through the conscious and unconscious processes that may have contributed in your struggle to heal. I will work with you to manage or resolve the things that are preventing you from enjoying fully your human journey.

Welcome! I look forward to meeting with you! I have had the opportunity to work with teens and adults, helping them navigate issues related to anxiety, OCD, depression, relationships, self-esteem, stress, life changes and grief/loss.

Are you struggling with a sense of identity? Wishing that you'd pursued something and now it's "too late?" We're raised to believe that there is a particular timeline our lives need to follow, but in reality, everyone's path and timeline are different. It's never too late to make a change and no matter who we are, or where we are in our lives, we are all capable of change. It's my goal to help you work towards achieving YOUR goals (even if you haven't quite figured out those goals yet).

Life Can Be Difficult... but fortunately we all have the inborn capacity for healing and integration...the capacity for love and personal strength. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy with both individuals and couples. Holistic Psychotherapy activates our inborn capacity for growth by providing a caring and non-reactive space in which this natural process can unfold. Holistic Psychotherapy can help you: develop your identity, personal strength and confidence...transform your fear to trust... reinvigorate your marriage and strengthen your friendships...navigate life transitions...move through grief...and travel YOUR Hero's Journey.
