Hi, I’m Harry — a Korean American gay Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I founded Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective on a simple belief: therapy works best when you don’t have to explain yourself.
Whether you’re navigating your identity, your relationships, your sexuality, or all three at once — I get it. Not as an ally. As someone who has lived it.
My Story
The highest compliment I receive is “Wow, you get it.”
Growing up Korean American, gay, and embedded in a religiously conservative Presbyterian church, learning to be my true, authentic self was a hard-fought and worthwhile journey. That journey is the foundation of everything I bring to therapy.
I’m no stranger to the compounding stresses of navigating multiple marginalized identities — the code-switching, the cultural expectations, the shame, and the extraordinary resilience it takes to live authentically. I don’t ask my clients to explain their lives. I ask them to tell me how they live.
“You don’t have to code-switch or educate me on your life or culture. I get it. Just tell me how you live — not why and we'll find a way to help you live your best life.”
As the founder of Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective, my mission is to create a therapeutic space where LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals can heal authentically — from the first session. Clients deserve to feel seen from the outset, not after three sessions of explaining themselves.
I’m here to help you make sense of your life, clarify what matters to you, and make choices that fit how you want to live. Not to judge. Not to fix. To provide a compassionate, warm presence that helps you feel less shame and more fulfillment.
I bring my whole self to my practice as a:
- Gay, nonmonogamous cis man
- Korean American and second-generation child of immigrants
- Neurodivergent person (ADHD)
- Former member of a conservative religious community
- Survivor of the unique pressures of LGBTQ+ identity formation

How I Work
What makes my practice different.
Therapy here feels unlike anywhere you’ve been before — because it’s built around your actual life.
No Code-Switching Required
Be yourself from day one. You won’t spend valuable session time explaining your identities, language, or relationships. I already understand.
Shared Lived Experience
I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding as a gay Korean American ADHD-er who has navigated the exact intersections many of my clients face.
Liberation-Focused
Therapy here isn’t about adjusting to oppressive systems — it’s about empowering you to break free from them. Anti-racist, decolonized, and radically affirming.
Sex-Positive & Shame-Free
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I move beyond shame-based narratives to help you embrace pleasure, intimacy, and sexual fulfillment on your own terms.
Relational at the Core
The client-therapist relationship is the primary vehicle for healing. I center trust, warmth, and genuine connection as the foundation of every session.
Extended Couples Sessions
I offer 90-minute couples therapy sessions for LGBTQ+ couples, intercultural relationships, CNM partnerships, and couples addressing sexual concerns.
