Rebecca Kim Yoo (she/her) is a Licensed Master Social Worker (MSW011725) who specializes in supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and relationship challenges. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on creating a space grounded in authenticity and belonging.

Rebecca has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in various settings, including hospitals, schools, substance use treatment centers, and outpatient clinics. She incorporates EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other modalities, such as relational, somatic, and psychodynamic approaches, to help clients access their own healing.

As a Korean American and child of immigrants, Rebecca brings an intentional awareness of culture, identity, and systemic influences into her work. Her lived experience informs her commitment to practicing with cultural humility and a strong appreciation for the complexity of her clients' stories. Rebecca’s experiences supporting children and teens also give her a deeper understanding of how past experiences may continue to impact people in the present. She brings this insight into her work, helping clients make sense of their early stories and how they’ve shaped their relationships, identities, and coping strategies. 

Rebecca earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. Before becoming a therapist, she worked as a registered nurse – an experience that deepened her understanding of the mind-body connection in mental health and gave her firsthand insight into the unique challenges faced by healthcare workers and first responders.

In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her family and two feisty chihuahuas, watching mystery shows, drinking strong coffee, traveling, and listening to old-school hip hop.
