About Myung
Myung "Claire" Hwang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices with a client-centered approach. She emphasizes the person in the room and helps people feel heard while they work through stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Claire keeps language simple and approachable so parents find the path forward easier to follow.
She draws on two decades of experience in California social work. That background includes supporting people who struggle with self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. She also helps those facing compassion fatigue and the confusing changes life brings.
In sessions she listens first and follows each person’s lead. The therapist aims to create space where people name what matters most and try small steps toward change. Claire often focuses on practical ways to manage stress and build self-love over time.
She also helps people sort through guilt, shame, and the work of forgiveness. Career questions and a search for life purpose are common topics she talks about with clients. The approach is steady and nonjudgmental, with attention to everyday strategies that can be used between visits.
Sessions are offered in English and Korean. If someone wants to begin, they can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
