I am HyunYoung Kim, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts (LMHC), a Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), and a meditation professional. With a clinical background in child development and family therapy, I have worked with clients navigating key life transitions—such as adolescence and menopause—as well as those facing emotional challenges like anxiety, anger, depression, and career-related concerns.

Rather than focusing solely on problem-solving, I offer lifestyle-oriented counseling that promotes emotional well-being and deeper self-understanding.

At the heart of my approach is a combination of sensory-based awareness training and meditative practices, designed to restore the connection between body and emotion and to foster inner resilience and self-alignment.

Because emotions arise first in the body—before we can name or think about them—our sessions focus on cultivating mindful awareness of bodily sensations and learning to regulate emotional flow without suppression. This process nurtures a sustainable sense of balance, self-acceptance, and emotional recovery.

Drawing from research in psychology and neuroscience, I help clients integrate evidence-based sensory routines into everyday life, building steady, meaningful change at their own pace.

All 1:1 sessions at LAON are currently offered online. Experience emotional healing and inner growth in the comfort of your own space, at a pace that feels most natural to you.
