About Sandra Kim
Licensed Resident in Counseling of KS Services, LLC
Sandra is a licensed mental health counselor with a Master’s Degree from Boston College. Sandra provides individual counseling to youth and adults in transition with a warm, easy-going, compassionate style. She has lived in countries around the globe including Kenya, Germany, France, Korea, and China. She has also lived all over the United States including NYC, D.C., L.A., and Boston. Because of her breadth of life experience, Sandra incorporates a multi-cultural, sensitive approach for clients. Sandra specializes in international university students, young professionals, and ex-pat populations. Having lived in so many different countries and cultures, she understands the complexities and challenges of being a third culture kid and struggling to fit into a community abroad but also when one returns "home."
Using CBT, Solution Focused and biblio-therapy, she focuses on the client's strengths
and past experiences to help them work towards their goals. Sandra utilizes her experiences by specializing in overall health and wellness, including mindfulness, spirituality, food/nutrition, and physical fitness. Just as when one sees a doctor for medical care after an injury, she views counseling as a way to care for a client's overall well-being after emotional, mental, and spiritual injury or pain.
Sandra’s Christian faith is the foundation to who she is and how she gives. She interweaves her faith into her counseling practice through gratitude, humbleness and strength.
Sandra is married and has one daughter. When she is not spending time with her family she enjoys dancing, cooking, traveling, exercising, and attending musical theater productions.
Sandra currently works with clients virtually who are located in Massachusetts.
