Clinical Bio

I am a Master of Social Work (MSW) student at Case Western Reserve University, currently serving as a student intern at Get Out of Your Head Therapy. My academic background is in psychology, and through clinical training, I have received training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Trauma Model Therapy (Levels 1 and 2). I am currently building my clinical skills in working with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, grief, and life stress. I approach my work with curiosity, compassion, and a strong commitment to ongoing learning as I continue to grow into my role as a clinician.  

What I Really Want You to Know  

What I really want you to know is that I see you as someone whose experiences make sense, even if they feel overwhelming or confusing right now. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest about your experiences, without judgment. I believe that healing starts with understanding, and that change happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported.  

How I Weave Trauma Model Therapy Into My Practice  

https://www.getoutofyourheadtherapy.com/texas-online-counseling-team/kayln-bae-kyung-eun-baeI incorporate Trauma Model Therapy into my work by focusing on understanding the function behind a person’s symptoms rather than viewing them as the problem itself. I approach behaviors such as avoidance, dissociation, or addiction as coping strategies that developed for a reason, often in response to overwhelmingly painful experiences. I emphasize pacing, safety, and developing awareness before moving into deeper processing. My goal is to support clients in gradually reducing reliance on maladaptive coping strategies, processing underlying experiences, and building stability.
