Being human can be hard—but it’s beautiful, too. In the middle of life’s beautiful mess, I help clients discover who God created them to be. I have a heart for people who want to grow in their faith while gaining understanding of how challenges from their past or current hurdles may be impacting them negatively, and how therapy can help—or for those who are simply curious about how God fits into their story. Emotions are complex, and I believe in taking the time to understand how you’re wired, what drives you, and how your thoughts and patterns have shaped what you believe about yourself. Together, we’ll uncover the truth, break unhealthy cycles, and take practical, faith-filled steps toward healing and hope.

My clinical approach is grounded in trauma-responsive, strengths-based care. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Gottman Method for couples. I am EMDRIA Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and specialize in integrating faith into the EMDR process for clients who want to invite God into their trauma work. I also completed the Training for Adoption Competence program through the Center for Adoption Support and Education (CASE) and am a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, providing specialized care to individuals and families impacted by foster care, adoption, and developmental trauma.

Each week, I am honored and humbled to work with my clients who have allowed me to be a part of their lives—sharing in their pain and walking with them toward wholeness. I am equally blessed to work alongside and supervise a team of beautiful professionals who have a clear calling to Christian counseling and who serve with compassion, excellence, and a heart for Jesus.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree from CW Post – Long Island University and simultaneously completed my master’s degree in social work from Stony Brook University while beginning my training as a Licensed Professional Christian Counselor at Liberty University, where I also completed graduate-level courses in Theology and Christian Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NY license number R079738) with the “R” psychotherapy privilege, indicating advanced training and experience specifically in providing psychotherapy. I became a Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor in 2009 and earned my Board Certified Behavior Analyst credential in 2010 after advanced post-graduate training at the Florida Institute of Technology.

I am also skilled in ARNO profiling, certified in Telemental Health, and hold SIFI (Seminar in Field Instruction) certification, enabling me to train and mentor future mental health professionals. I am an active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, the National Association of Social Workers, the New York State School Social Workers Association, the National Association of Christian Social Workers, and the Sarasota Academy of Christian Counselors. I am also a therapist endorsed by New Life Ministries Incorporated.

Whether we meet in my Massapequa office or virtually from the comfort of your home, my goal is to ensure every session is a safe, encouraging space where you feel heard, supported, and equipped to live out your God-given purpose.

Do you ever feel unseen? You may be carrying the weight of the world, but no one seems to notice. Come unburden yourself and start the road to letting go and letting God guide you through healing. Life is challenging and sometimes there are situations that happen to us that are unexpected and beyond our control. Maybe you have a child that has a special need, or you’re a mom facing a difficult postpartum recovery, or burdened with the cultural pressure or generational hurt that you can’t escape. Whatever your story is, today is a new day and counseling is a brave step towards navigating the path ahead, one that is free from shame and judgment and instead walking within the grace and hope of Jesus.

I have extensive experience in providing support and counseling to children and teenagers as a school social worker along with facilitating groups for parents of children with special needs. I also work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, postpartum stress, cultural shame, life transitions etc. I provide private telehealth and in person compassionate counseling in a safe and calming environment. I use cognitive behavioral therapy with a strengths based approach to identify your positive qualities to help you believe in yourself and recognize the tools God has given you to build resiliency.

You are worthy to be seen and it would be my privilege to provide you with encouragement and counseling to manage life’s challenges through the lens of the gospel. My goal is to meet you with compassion and care in your struggles. Humility, dedication, and perseverance characterize my work and I am here to support you on your journey.

Simply seeking therapy can be a meaningful step forward. Your interest in counseling—whether it feels like a quiet curiosity or an urgent need—already speaks volumes about your courage.

My name is Ye Sil, and my passion for this work is rooted in my own journey, my professional experience with clients, and a deep love for research and advocacy—I’m always seeking to better understand what helps people feel seen, safe, and whole. I approach therapy with the belief that every part of you—yes, even the reactive or shut-down parts—makes sense in the context of what you’ve lived through. My work is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from multiple approaches to meet your unique needs. These include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as strength-based, solution-focused, and person-centered frameworks. Together, we’ll look at what’s happening now while also understanding the deeper patterns and experiences that may be driving it.

Clients I work with often struggle with constant anxiety, a harsh inner critic, people-pleasing, or feeling like they’ve lost themselves trying to meet others’ expectations. Some are working through grief, relational or childhood wounds, spiritual confusion, identity questions, or generational patterns they want to break. Others feel weighed down by a sense of emptiness, burnout, or major life changes. Many are simply looking for a space where they can be honest and not have to hold it all together.

Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and paced with your nervous system in mind. You have space here, whether this is your first time or you’ve been on this path before. We’ll meet you where you are and move forward together.

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals, youth, and families as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Growing up in a Korean immigrant and ministry household, I understand the unique stressors that come with faith, family expectations, and living between two cultures. My goal is to provide a calm and supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow.

I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults as they explore identity, family dynamics, and faith. Having served alongside ministry families, I also care deeply about supporting those experiencing spiritual burnout or the pressures of church life. My hope is to come alongside you with warmth, cultural sensitivity, and clinical training as you move toward healing and renewed hope.

Seeking counseling is a great step in coping and overcoming the challenges that we face in life. I work behind the scenes at SKC. My job is to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Together with the amazing SKC team, we’re here to make things a bit better and more hopeful. When you reach out to us, I’m here to help you take that first step.
