Evidence-based therapy for high-achievers, perfectionists, and overthinkers. No fluff. No scripts. Just clear, structured work that leads to real change.
I specialize in helping high-performers, perfectionists, and overthinkers understand the patterns that keep them stuck — and build new ones that actually work.
With a background in neuroscience research and over a decade of clinical practice, I bring structure and precision to the therapeutic process. This isn't talk therapy for the sake of talking.

"Dr. Shin doesn't just listen — he helps you see the pattern. After six months, my panic attacks went from weekly to almost none. I finally have tools that work."
"I was skeptical of EMDR. But something shifted that I couldn't access through talking alone. I feel lighter. Less reactive. More like myself."
I use evidence-based methods tailored to how your brain works. Every session has direction. Every treatment plan has clear goals. But within that structure, there's room for the unexpected.
