Professional Biography

Specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, manage depression, and overcome anxiety

  • M.A., University of Tennessee
  • MHC, Limited Permit
  • Eun Jee Pak holds a master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee. Following her MA, she relocated to New York, where she spent six years as a social program coordinator and public health educator in metropolitan areas. Her primary responsibilities included mental health education for the Korean-American community, facilitating support groups, and providing one-on-one case counseling for underserved populations in NYC.

    Personal Interests

    Ms. Pak enjoys cooking Korean cuisine for family and friends, hosting casual dinner parties, and spending summer evenings around a backyard firepit making s’mores. While not particularly skilled in gardening, she finds joy in arranging flowers. Her passion for family activities has led her to master various sports, including kayaking, biking, skiing, and pickleball.

    Orientation/clinical interests/specialties

    Ms. Pak’s therapeutic philosophy centers on the belief that “believing in yourself comes after knowing yourself.” Her approach emphasizes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-acknowledgement. She utilizes evidence-based practices, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help clients achieve their goals.

    Her diverse experiences—transitioning between cultures, adapting to various social settings, and fulfilling roles as an international student, immigrant worker, veteran’s wife, and mother of two—have deepened her understanding of change and cultural adaptation. This unique perspective enables her to empathize deeply with clients while offering professional techniques to address their needs. Drawing on her knowledge, experience, and professional training, Ms. Pak specializes in treating various behavioral problems, mood disorders, and personality disorders, including but not limited to:

    • Anxiety
    • Depression
    • Adjustment disorder 
    • ADHD
    • Relationship issues (parenting education)
    • PTSD (trauma related issue)
    • Panic attack disorder

    Our therapists may have a waitlist of 1-3 months before ongoing weekly sessions can begin, but we understand how important it is to feel heard and supported as you start therapy. To help you take the first step, we offer first Full session or a Free 10-minute video call, so called “chemistry check”, as soon as possible. This gives you the space to connect with the therapist, reflect on whether the relationship feels like the right fit, and decide—at your own pace—whether to wait for an available spot. We believe therapy is a deliberate process, and this time of decision-making is an essential part of it.

    We’re in-network with the following insurance providers: Aetna, Cigna, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, CDPHP.
