Aetna Therapists in Washington

Hello! I'm Jane Park, a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist with licenses in Washington, California, Pennsylvania, Florida, Maryland, Georgia, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, Delaware, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Indiana. I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor's in Clinical Psychology from UC San Diego. With over five years of experience, I provide compassionate mental health services to primarily individuals. Currently, I work part-time with Meru Health and have opened up my private practice to see clients in Washington. Previously, I served as a Medical Case Manager and Acute Therapist at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, helping patients navigate complex social and medical challenges. I also have a huge interest in food service and have worked at several bakeries, kitchens, and even as a barista. Throughout my career, I've been passionate about supporting people who are at a crossroads for change. It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to strive for this change in mental health and I hope to support clients in providing a safe and empathetic space to explore some of these areas for growth and change. Shame is one of the greatest barriers to change, and I hope that we can compassionately and nonjudgmentally speak about these areas for growth and I will be right alongside with you in your journey! I believe in using evidence-based practices to foster recovery and well-being and use cognitive behavioral therapy, drawing patterns between situations triggering thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I love to explore the values, beliefs, and experiences that create a person's worldview and interaction with others so that they can be empowered to make informed choices. I am fluent in English and conversational in Korean. I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges with care and expertise. Let's work together to achieve your mental health goals. *Specialties •Mental Health *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •PTSD •Relationship issues •Trauma •Mood disorders •Stress •Codependency •Coping Skills •Family Conflict •Life Transitions •Self Esteem •ADD/ADHD *Treatment philosophy I believe that in this busy world with life's responsibilities, mental health and emotions often get overlooked, but with neglecting one's emotions, they build up and can even worsen! If you have reached a point where you feelings and behaviors feel overwhelming and out of control, I am here to help you to reconnect with yourself, explore these lost emotions, and embrace all parts of yourself. In the session, you will be slowing down to connect with these emotions, while exploring what thoughts and beliefs fuel your behaviors. I will create a safe space for you to reflect on stress points, and find a way to break out of these triggering situations that can feel like relentless cycles. *Treatment approach •Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) •Culturally Sensitive •Eclectic •Humanistic •Trauma-Focused •Person-Focused

"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"
