Gloria A. Huh, Ph.D.

PSYCHOLOGIST

Welcome!

 I’m Gloria Huh (she/her/hers), a licensed psychologist (PY60969908) located in Seattle, Washington. As a second-generation, Korean American, cisgender woman of color, I didn’t grow up knowing about therapy or emotions, in general, as might be the case with you. I am aware of some challenges you might face in getting connected to therapy. Because of this, I have created a therapy experience that reduces barriers and empowers you to improve your life but also feels real and natural.

I work through an integration of two core approaches, multicultural theory (the prioritization of context and culture in understanding our strengths and distress) and psychodynamic theory (the exploration of how childhood experiences and relationships have shaped who we are and contribute to our distress). I also incorporate different modalities to enhance the work, such as mindfulness, behavioral techniques, and somatics.

My style, more conversational than scripted, honest but gentle, will allow you to go deeper and make you feel both understood and confident in our work together. I don’t give advice, but there’s a reason behind it. You can read more about this in an interview I did in the Seattle Times.

    This one-on-one session is geared to identify ways to improve your wellness and mental health. In the initial session, I will assess your current state and history using a holistic approach. I will identify your strengths and resilience and prioritize incorporating them in sessions. We will work collaboratively in establishing goals— some like specific ones while others like broad themed ones—and identify ways to reach them.

    These sessions involve empowering the couple to identify conflict patterns and unmet emotional needs that impact intimacy and connection. I use a multicultural, emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic lens to better understand the relationship and help you all work to improve it. The initial session will determine whether we are a good fit and then goals and focus areas.

  • $300/hour for assessment and writing, total time varies; please inquire.

    This comprehensive assessment may take multiple sessions depending on the time needed to gather necessary information for the formal diagnostic psychological evaluation and assessment.
