Therapist in Lansdowne, Virginia Sung Hwang, Therapist

Sung Hwang, LMFT, provides thoughtful, personalized support to help individuals, couples, and families find clarity and resilience. Based in Virginia and practicing at LifeStance Health, she serves children, adolescents, and adults with a warm, collaborative approach that honors each client’s unique life experiences. Sung works closely with those seeking support for issues such as ADHD, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms, guiding them through tailored strategies to improve emotional well-being and strengthen personal relationships. Sung is especially passionate about helping individuals and families impacted by adoption and foster care, autism spectrum disorders, and the LGBTQ+ community. With a deep understanding of the layered emotions and identity development involved in these experiences, she offers a space that is inclusive, validating, and culturally responsive. Her work centers on building trust and empowering clients to embrace their stories with compassion and self-acceptance. Her clinical focus includes treating ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD/trauma, utilizing evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. Sung also integrates mindfulness-based practices and parenting skills training, adapting her approach to meet the diverse needs of clients navigating complex life transitions, parenting struggles, or emotional dysregulation. For those seeking faith-integrated care, she offers Christian counseling as part of her therapeutic framework. Sung’s clients benefit from her compassionate perspective and bicultural lens—she speaks both Korean and English—which enhances her sensitivity to cultural identity, acculturation stress, and cross-cultural dynamics. She works with children, teens, and adults, including seniors, and provides individual, couples, and family therapy. Outside the therapy room, Sung finds joy and balance in nature walks, watching soccer, traveling, and spending meaningful time with loved ones.
