More about Sujin

10 years' experience
Female
LPCC

Hi, I’m Sujin Ma, Ph.D., LPCC, BC-DMT, a licensed clinical counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist in California. I have been working as a therapist over 9 years of clinical experience supporting diverse communities. Born in Seoul, Korea, and having lived in the U.S., Thailand, and India, I bring a multicultural perspective and fluency in English and Korean.

I specialize in trauma recovery using body-centered and expressive arts therapy, helping clients process emotions, build safety, and reconnect with themselves. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions.

Do you sometimes feel disconnected from yourself or others? Are past experiences or old patterns holding you back from living fully? My goal is to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
