Ji Won Kang

I, Ji Won "Jenny" Kang, as a graduate counseling practicum student from Houston Christian University supervised by Mary Amanda Trost, M.Ed, LPC at Solace Counseling and Coaching (101 Southwestern Blvd #212 Sugar Land, TX 77478). I strive to bring a multicultural, multidimensional, and mindful approach to helping those with concerns about mental health, relationships, communication, and identity. Honoring and supporting the client are my top priorities.

Originally, a graduate medical student, I offer a unique input into mental health care in collaboration with biological and clinical knowledge. I offer specialized mental health care for health care workers, first responders, and other medical professionals.

Additionally, I have extensive experience working with youth in after-school programs and the field of pediatrics, where I led and designed curriculum-focused activities—an experience that deepened my understanding of child and adolescent development and informs my supportive, creative approach to counseling. Clients of all ages, cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and political standings are welcome.  

Counseling with me encompasses sincerity, non-judgment, and empathy where the client is the leader and controller of each counseling session while I offer support, guidance, and care. I encourage clients to tell their story freely and wholeheartedly. I desire to offer a space of comfort, safety, and compassion by adjusting the counseling meeting space and atmosphere to the client’s preferences. I specialize in mental health hardships, like depression and anxiety, stress and time management, spiritual and religious matters, and conflict resolution. Establishing real, honest, and professional counselor-client relationships lasting as long as desired and needed by the client are my goals as an aspiring counselor. I understand that life can be difficult, unfair, and dark; however, hope remains, so please reach out via phone or email if you are interested in counseling.
