PsyD • Licensed Clinical Psychologist
About
Dr. Mijin Park brings a wealth of experience to her practice as a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in the intricate dynamics of intergenerational conflict within multicultural families. Her journey into psychology began with a profound realization during volunteer work with youth, where she observed firsthand the significant barriers to growth caused by conflicts between younger generations and their parents. This eye-opening experience fueled her passion for research and ultimately led her to pursue a career in psychology.
Graduating from the prestigious Chicago School of Psychology with a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree, Dr. Park has honed her expertise in providing comprehensive psychological services for clients across all age groups. Her practice is particularly noted for its focus on adolescents and their families, where she expertly navigates the complex terrain of parent-child relationships in multicultural contexts.
One of Dr. Park's core strengths lies in her ability to conduct thorough psychological assessments. She specializes in evaluations for ADHD, executive functioning, and emotional dysregulation, among other areas. These assessments serve as invaluable tools in developing targeted treatment plans and strategies for her clients. Dr. Park's approach is not limited to working with young people alone; she also dedicates significant attention to empowering parents with effective skills and strategies to foster their children's growth and development.
Dr. Park's professional services extend beyond individual therapy and assessments. She is committed to bridging generational and cultural gaps, helping families communicate more effectively and understand each other's perspectives. Her multicultural background and fluency in both English and Korean allow her to serve a diverse clientele, providing culturally sensitive care that acknowledges and respects different family dynamics and traditions.
When not in her office in Laguna Hills or Fullerton, Dr. Park enjoys a balanced life that informs her practice. Her interests in cooking, hiking, and gardening not only serve as personal outlets but also as metaphors she often uses in therapy to illustrate growth, patience, and the nurturing of relationships. Dr. Park's holistic approach to mental health, combined with her specialized expertise and genuine passion for helping others, makes her a trusted and effective psychologist for individuals and families navigating the complexities of modern, multicultural life.
