Margaret Kim, LPC-A
Clinical Staff Therapist – Supervised by Bill McHenry, LPC-S
Margaret earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. After 10 years in the Austin tech industry, she made a career change and completed a Master’s in Counseling at St. Edward’s University. She is a second-generation Korean American.
Margaret is deeply interested in the human experience and is committed to walking alongside her clients with curiosity and compassion. She supports individuals navigating depression, anxiety, grief, and generational trauma, and has a particular affinity for individuals who feel pulled between worlds, whether across cultures, identities, or simply between who they are and who they’ve been told to be. Her approach is eclectic, holistic, and honors the many systems we each exist within.
Outside of work, Margaret enjoys hanging out with her cats, Indy and Leo.
Q&A With Margaret
In your opinion, how does therapy work?
I believe the purpose of therapy is to set you free. The ways we learned to survive in the past can often become the very things that hold us back in the present. My goal is to provide a space where you can understand those old patterns, explore who you are, and liberate yourself from the internal systems that oppress you, so you can step into the life you want.
What's it like working with you?
I am collaborative, direct, and warm. I gently challenge with compassion, and I like to dig deep and get to the root of what’s going on. I champion autonomy and authenticity, and my goal as a therapist is to support and guide you on your journey of healing and growth. We will go at your pace and, together, sort through ways of relating and coping that are no longer working for you.
On a personal note...
My creative outlet for the past several years has been making pottery. I also enjoy reading, live music, and melting into my couch.
