About Kan

I am both an academic and a practitioner. I am currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at Georgia State University, and the Program Coordinator of the CACREP Accredited Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program within the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services. My research focuses on psychological well-being, masculinity, minority stress, and multicultural issues such racial mislabeling, international counseling, refugee adjustment, LGBT issues in counseling. My studies have been published in both national and international peer reviewed journals, and I presented in numerous local and national conferences on these topics. I tremendously value scientific understanding, and as a producer and a consumer of scientific knowledge in my field, I rely on empirical evidence to inform my practice and to counsel my clients.

From Kan’s Practice

As a practitioner, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS). I am also a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (NBCCH). Although I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and mood/behavior disturbance, my clients come to me with many other difficulties and expectations. I work with individuals who are troubled with depression, interpersonal relationships, grief/loss, life transitions, self-esteem issues, emotional difficulties, acculturation, sexual identity, same sex relationship difficulties, men’s issues and several other concerns. And because of this variety, I tailor each session according to your needs and draw from a large range of approaches to assist you in resolving your concerns and meeting your mental health goals in counseling.
