Thanks to Roy Kim, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) for joining me in this interview all about how to find your specialty as a therapist (btw he also has an MDiv!).
Not only does he cover some practical tools to help you narrow down your specialty, he vulnerably shares about how he allowed his own story to infuse into his practice and his specialty. This was an incredibly valuable interview!

Marie needs a podcast! LOVE this

Super grateful for this episode. Thanks for putting it out there, Dr Fang. I'm a big fan of Roy Kim's work and it's great to see two worlds collide by you interviewing him!

[@freeandfabulous4310]

Thank you for this discussion . I’m an LmFT and most of my young male clients have sex addictions.i need much more training on this to help them reclaim their marriages and their own sexuality.

I really enjoyed the interview. It's nice to hear about therapists' journey in finding what they are passionate about and how they develop their specialty. I think the bridge of transitioning from working for an agency to private practice is a journey of itself because it's non-stop exploration and learning about who you are as a therapist and what specialty you want to dive into. Will definitely check out the resources shared in the video. Thanks for sharing, Marie!

I’m about to embark in a mental health nurse practitioner school and this is eye opening and I’m deeply moved by your content and makes me excited to enter this field thank you

[@annabelapurva-madhuri4861]

This was great. Thanks to you both!

WOW! What a powerful interview! Roy thank you for being vulnerable and sharing parts of your journey as a clinician but also your own healing journey! I am working towards my license and having similar thoughts about "I should be working with these types of people" even though I find myself feeling relief when they miss or cancel. And I think you both bring up a great point about how important it is for us as counselors to do our own work with trauma and not healing through our clients. I'm not sure what is my niche but I know my heart feel full when I work with people who have parents who are narcissistic. This ties into my own story but I recognize that I have more work to do when it comes to healing from my trauma and feel that I need more training in that area to provide the best service possible. Like you both had mentioned it is so important to do this work not only for myself but for the people I serve. Thank you again! Definitely gonna subscribe to the new therapist podcast!

It was good to hear how he came to his nitch. I've worked for other practices, and am in the process of working on my own. Lots to do! I have a MA in Christian Ed and went for my counseling degree. I've realized (after being in the field for years) that I can use what I've experienced to help others. Thank you for this interview. I hope to listen to at least one of his podcasts.

I really enjoy this, thank you for being so vulnerable and authentic to talk about your journey of finding your meaning and specialty as a therapist! Thank you Marie!!

[@cakesinthecity]

This was a phenomenal interview as an aspiring mental health provider ❤

[@mecitty22]

Thank you! This was so helpful.

[@kelseymartin1005]

I would love to see more of this! Podcast style interviews! Love your content.

[@grumpyschnauzer]

One of my life goals since childhood is to become a sex therapist (not specifically a sex addiction therapist). Currently I’m an MFT Associate so I still have a long ways to go. I’m really struggling with working in a field that is so heavily driven by the DSM and insurance. I feel the same insecurity of feeling like “damaged goods” and I was terrified of psychically harming others just by knowing that I don’t know everything.

[@enatp6448]

Really enjoyed this guest! Really interesting professional journey. Thanks!

[@sleepnbeau823]

I enjoyed this. Thank you, Roy, for sharing a bit of your story.

[@ThePossumone]

This is great as I think specialising is essential as it’s too overwhelming

[@126769]

When you stated "I don't know If I can work with couples" I had that visceral reaction when I was enrolled my couples class because of my intense childhood trauma. I recognized a lot of my avoidant attachment style as a partner during that time and really had to reprocess some of that childhood junk. I went to a COAMFTE program so they really pushed couples work. To this day , I don't "do" couples but really recognize the value in it. My professional jam is EMDR/brainspotting/trauma work.

[@christinathammasen7050]

I am a newly-licensed LCSW and am interested in learning the steps Roy completed to become a certified sex therapist. This is a focus area I am interested in learning more about! Any tips, websites, or programs, are appreciated!

. God bless him
