Meet Your Therapist
Soeun Hong, Clinical Therapist Fellow
About Soeun
Hello, I’m Soeun [so-wen]! I am an emerging therapist committed to helping my clients cultivate greater self-discovery, discernment, and acceptance through our work together.
Over the past few years of clinical experience, I have been honored to accompany clients on their journeys toward genuine connections with themselves and others, while reclaiming their self-worth and emotional well-being. Navigating adulthood can often feel unmoored amid transitions, uncertainties and competing demands. Setting priorities, living with purpose and meaning, and turning inward to reconnect with your core values and direction can be challenging. I understand how difficult it can be to tune into your own inner voice and discern it as an authentic source of guidance, especially when you’re learning to trust your body, your intuition, and others. If this resonates with your experience, I want to support you in developing a deeper sense of self-trust and meaningful connections with others, which I believe is an essential foundation for navigating relationships, transitions, and life decisions.
Sharing a personal story takes courage and vulnerability, so just by coming here, I believe many positive changes are already underway. “The darkest hour is just before dawn.” I’m grateful to be part of your journey and look forward to hearing your story and supporting you along the way.

Focus Areas & Specialties
I work with adults and specialize in disordered eating and eating disorders, PTSD/CPTSD, life transitions, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-esteem, and identity exploration and integration. I strive to provide neurodiversity-affirming care and specialize in supporting individuals who identify as or believe they are neurodivergent, particularly those with ADHD and Autism. I am dedicated to serving those who identify as members of ethnic, linguistic minority and queer communities.
Therapeutic Training & Background
I am currently a fourth-year doctoral student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, working towards my PhD in Counseling Psychology. I am working under the supervision of Kelsey Esser, MSW, LCSW. I have completed a one-year clinical internship at The Current and am excited to continue as a clinical fellow, furthering my training in both Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT) and the specialization of eating disorders. My therapeutic approach is primarily guided by RO-DBT and is supplemented by interpersonal frameworks to facilitate processing relationship dynamics and enhancing social signaling. I integrate trauma-informed care with evidence-based approaches. I deeply value authenticity, cultural humility, and consistency in therapeutic relationships.
Professional Style
Clarity is something I often hear from my clients about our sessions. I focus on building a trusting, collaborative relationship and regularly check in to see how we’re progressing. You can expect a caring and non-judgmental space filled with collaboration, empathy, and understanding. I also aim to bring fresh, holistic perspectives and help you recognize and build upon your strengths. My goal is to create a safe environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore and grow.
