About

Exploring sexual freedom and authenticity is at the heart of Yub Kim's therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Professional Counselor fluent in both Korean and English, Yub creates a unique, culturally sensitive space where clients can delve into their deepest desires and concerns without fear of judgment.

Yub's practice is founded on the belief that sex should be a source of pleasure and exploration, free from the constraints of societal stigma. He recognizes that the messages we receive throughout life can make it challenging to embrace our true sexuality. With this understanding, Yub aims to provide a safe harbor for clients to navigate the often turbulent waters of sexual identity, fantasies, kinks, and open or polyamorous relationships.

In his sessions, Yub employs innovative techniques such as narrative exploration and role-playing to help clients uncover and understand their sexual selves. His approach is particularly valuable for those grappling with the intersectionality of cultural background and sexual identity, as he draws from his own experience as a Korean immigrant to the United States.

As an active member of the LGBTQIA+ and kink communities, Yub brings both personal insight and professional expertise to his practice. He is passionate about promoting individualized sexual freedom and is affirming of sex work, ensuring that all aspects of human sexuality are approached with understanding and respect.

Yub's educational background includes a graduate degree in counseling psychology from John Carroll University, providing him with a solid foundation in mental health care. This training, combined with his specialized focus on sexuality, enables him to offer comprehensive support for a wide range of intimacy-related concerns.

Whether clients are seeking to explore their sexual identity, understand their desires more deeply, or navigate the complexities of non-traditional relationships, Yub offers compassionate guidance. His bilingual skills make him particularly well-suited to serve the Korean-speaking community, helping to bridge cultural gaps in discussions about sexuality and relationships.

Clients working with Yub can expect a therapist who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also deeply committed to helping them live authentically and embrace all facets of their identity. His approach encourages clients to filter through the noise of heteronormativity and discover a path that aligns with their true selves, fostering a journey of self-discovery and acceptance in the realm of sexuality and intimacy.
