APPROACH
ABOUT ME
My name is Nina Whang and I am a marriage and family therapist and enneagram coach based in California. I am a child of Korean immigrants, a wife of a pastor, and a working mother of two, residing in Silicon Valley. My personal journey has been learning to uncover, navigate, and find healing in my own story.
Whether you're coming in alone or with a partner, my integrative approach combines compassion with practical guidance to help you navigate your journey. For individuals, it means exploring your personal path with genuine curiosity and care. For couples, this means honoring both individual stories while weaving them into your shared narrative. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow, and I'm here to help you uncover the tools and insights that can lead to meaningful change with evidence-based therapy and faith-centered care. As your therapist, I create a space where you will be met with curiosity, compassion, and care, so you can safely share your experiences, challenges, and hopes.
