Cultural Psychiatry

Being a daughter of South Korean immigrant parents, Dr. Simone took a special interest in learning more about how culture plays a role in mental health care. During her training at UCLA and the West LA VA Medical Center, she worked with patients from all walks of life and received specialized training working with different cultural backgrounds.

Culture can affect many aspects of mental health including how you experience symptoms and how you feel about seeking treatment.

Dr. Simone is committed to learning about you as a whole person and how culture may play a large role in your life experiences.
