Hur Psyche

About Me

I’m Dr. Bianca Hur, a clinical psychologist in Irvine. Before becoming a psychologist, I earned my bachelor’s degree in comparative literature and culture at Yonsei University and worked in media and communications in South Korea. I went on to earn my doctorate in clinical psychology at Azusa Pacific University.

 

I’ve worked in community mental health, government facilities, college counseling, and private practice with people of different ages, identities, and backgrounds. I see therapy as a collaboration shaped by your history, identity and needs. I start by listening to what’s happening in your life and what you hope will change.

 

Yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness have shaped how I pay attention to the body in therapy. In a session, we might explore a familiar pattern and pause to notice where you feel it in your body.

Therapeutic approach

We shape our work around your needs, taking into account your culture, current stresses, and personal history. We pay attention to what feels useful to you as the work unfolds.

 

Depending on your goals, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, somatic exercises, hypnotherapy, or psychedelic integration. I’m also a certified yoga instructor and hypnotherapist, and I’m interested in how movement, breathwork, and mindfulness can support therapy.
