곽하민 상담사

For Counselor Hamin Kwak, counseling goes beyond simply solving problems. It is a creative and integrative process in which counselor and client form trust within a collaborative relationship, exploring inner transformation and fostering healthy growth and recovery. He views counseling as an “art of healing,” accompanying clients on a journey of listening to their unique stories and experiences, and discovering the resilience and potential they possess.
Counselor Kwak communicates effectively not only with adults but also with adolescents and children, applying individualized techniques suited to each developmental stage. He flexibly integrates various therapeutic approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, expressive arts, emotion-focused therapy, and solution-focused therapy—according to the client’s characteristics and needs. His counseling covers areas such as emotional regulation, stress management, self-awareness, and relationship improvement.
He also places emphasis on creating an emotionally safe and warm environment where clients can freely express themselves and explore their inner world. Fluent in both English and Korean, Counselor Kwak has the ability to provide deep, meaningful counseling for clients living in bilingual and multicultural contexts. By combining cultural sensitivity with developmental understanding, he practices counseling that offers practical pathways to recovery for those experiencing challenges in diverse life situations.
