Yeji Son, Ph.D
Bilingual Psychologist in Seattle & Washington State
PADO · 파도 · ocean wave.
Therapy for the tides of emotion
and life lived in between.
I’m Dr. Yeji Son, a Korean-English psychologist based in Seattle.
I understand people in context. The ways we cope, strive, withdraw, love, and protect ourselves often make more sense when we consider the relationships, cultures, bodies, histories, and environments that shaped them.
I work with adults and couples navigating complex trauma, anxiety and perfectionism, neurodivergence, and cultural and identity concerns.
