Professional Disclosure Statement Jimmy Yoo, Student Intern Counselor Supervisor: Bekah Stines MSPC, LPC Heartafire Counseling Services 9900 SW Greenburg Rd, Suite 235 Tigard, OR 97223 971-220-8270 jimmy@heartafirecounselingservices.com Philosophy and Approach I believe the therapeutic relationship is both deeply personal and a professional partnership built on trust, respect, and collaboration. Choosing to begin therapy is a meaningful step toward growth, healing, and change. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients of all ages feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their experiences at a pace that feels right for them. Therapy is an active and collaborative process. While it can lead to increased clarity, resilience, and healthier relationships, it may also involve navigating difficult emotions. My role is to walk alongside you with steadiness, curiosity, and care as we work toward the life you want to live. My approach is integrative and client-centered, informed by both clinical mental health training and performance psychology principles. I draw from evidence-based practices that support meaningful growth, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness and awareness practices, mental skills training (such as goal-setting, visualization, and confidence-building), and relational, collaborative exploration. My work is also informed by trauma-informed and embodiment-based perspectives, which recognize the impact of stress and lived experience on both mind and body. This guides my commitment to safety, empowerment, and attuned therapeutic presence. I adhere to the Code of Ethics set forth by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (OAR Chapter 833, Division 100), which guides my professional conduct and commitment to client care.
