ADHD Therapy in Pyeongtaek

At PACE Psychology in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, I provide ADHD therapy for children, teens, and adults in English and Korean. I’m Minsu Kim, Ph.D., a U.S.-licensed clinical psychologist.

We’ll start with what you’d like to change in everyday life, whether that’s homework that takes all evening, missed deadlines at work, or frequent arguments over daily routines. Depending on your needs, therapy may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral strategies, and support for parents. If you or your child already has an ADHD diagnosis, we can talk about what’s still difficult and what support would be useful now.

What Can ADHD Therapy Help With?

Knowing what you need to do doesn’t always make it easier to do it. ADHD therapy can address everyday difficulties such as:

Starting tasks and following through after a distraction

Keeping track of time, appointments, and responsibilities
Getting through daily routines with fewer arguments
Managing frustration and slowing down impulsive reactions
Working through avoidance and self-criticism after repeated setbacks

You don’t need to work on everything at once. We’ll choose a few priorities based on what would make the biggest difference for you or your child.

CBT and Behavioral Therapy for ADHD

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD

With teens and adults, I use CBT to work on practical skills and the thoughts that can make everyday challenges harder. If you keep putting off a task because you’re worried about doing it poorly, we might examine that expectation and plan a manageable way to begin. Sessions may also focus on planning, time management, and responding to setbacks.

Behavioral Therapy for ADHD

Behavioral approaches focus on what makes a behavior easier or harder to repeat. We might adjust a routine, reduce distractions, or use clear feedback and rewards to support follow-through. For children, this often involves working closely with parents.

Together, we’ll choose something specific to try between sessions, then review what helped and what needs adjusting.

ADHD Therapy for Children and Parent Support

With children, I work with both the child and their parents. We might focus on getting through homework with fewer arguments, following a morning routine, or asking for help at school. Sessions give your child a chance to practice skills in ways that fit their age.

We’ll also work on clear instructions, realistic expectations, and consistent ways to respond and encourage progress at home. I want to hear your child’s perspective, too. Understanding what feels difficult for them helps us choose goals that matter to both of you.

ADHD Therapy for Teens and Adults

ADHD Therapy for Teens

I want teens to have a say in what we work on. That might mean staying on top of assignments, handling disagreements at home, or taking on more responsibility. We’ll also discuss how parents can help while leaving room for growing independence.

Adult ADHD Therapy

Managing work, relationships, and responsibilities at home can take more effort than others realize. In adult ADHD therapy, we can look at where you’re getting stuck and find ways to manage those demands that fit your life. I also make room to talk about how years of these difficulties may have affected your confidence and relationships.

What to Expect from ADHD Therapy

Talk about what brings you in.

I’ll ask about your current concerns, what you’ve already tried, and what you’d like to be different.

Make a plan together.

We’ll choose a few specific goals and discuss how often to meet. For children and teens, we’ll also talk about how parents can be involved.

Check how things are going.

We’ll look for changes in everyday life and adjust the plan when something isn’t helping.

If you already have an ADHD diagnosis, we can review your history and any available reports. A new comprehensive evaluation isn’t automatically required. If questions about the diagnosis remain, we can discuss whether an ADHD evaluation would be helpful.

ADHD Care with Minsu Kim, Ph.D.

I’m Minsu Kim, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist licensed in Washington State and Maryland. During my postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Kennedy Krieger Institute, I worked primarily with children ages 8–12 who had been diagnosed with ADHD.

That experience continues to inform my work with children and families. In sessions, I pay attention to the details: where a plan falls apart, what has helped before, and what feels realistic for you or your child.
