Bonnie Kim, MA, LCPC
Bonnie Kim is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor at Mosaic Wholeness Center, serving clients across Illinois via telehealth. Born in Korea and rooted in North America, with formative professional years spent living and working overseas, Bonnie brings a genuinely cross-cultural lens to the therapy space, one that helps clients from a wide range of backgrounds feel truly seen rather than simply accommodated.
Who She Helps
Bonnie has a particular heart for people who are navigating the space between who they have been and who they are becoming. That includes young adults finding their footing, older adults facing new seasons, and anyone carrying the particular weight that comes with holding two cultures, two generations, or two versions of themselves at once.
She specializes in working with:
- Young adults and older adults navigating major life transitions
- Individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and mood-related concerns
- People working through OCD, ADHD, and trauma, both the dramatic kind and the quiet, accumulated kind
- Clients carrying grief, shame, unresolved family-of-origin wounds, or generational and cultural tensions within their relationships
- Couples and individuals navigating premarital concerns, relational conflict, and intimacy challenges
- Clients seeking a spiritually sensitive, faith-informed therapeutic space
Bonnie offers all sessions via telehealth, providing flexible, accessible care to clients throughout Illinois.
How She Works
Bonnie’s style is gentle, warm, and deeply attuned, but she is not afraid to be direct when the moment calls for it. She integrates clinical expertise with spiritual sensitivity, drawing on a client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique story, cultural background, and faith journey. Clients often notice her natural gift for attunement early on: the sense that she is not just listening to what is being said but to what lies beneath it. She creates a space where clients feel safe enough to stop performing and start healing.
Why This Work
Bonnie has lived the experience of moving between worlds: languages, cultures, and contexts that don’t always translate easily. That experience gave her something textbooks cannot, a felt understanding of what it means to carry complexity, to belong in more than one place and feel fully at home in neither, and to quietly wonder whether anyone will really understand you. She does this work because she knows that kind of understanding is possible, and she has seen what opens up in people when they finally find it.

A Little More About Bonnie
Bonnie believes that healing is not only possible but is woven into who each person was made to be. She sees every client as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a presenting problem, and she brings that conviction into every session. Outside of her clinical work, her faith, her relationships, and her ongoing curiosity about people and culture continue to shape the therapist she is becoming.
