English-speaking mental health counseling services exist throughout South Korea. However, finding such English-speaking mental health counseling services, particularly outside of the Seoul area, may feel like an overwhelming or difficult task. Read below to learn about Mental Health Counseling in Pyeongtaek.
Selecting Mental Health Counseling Options in Pyeongtaek
Since finding English language mental health support may feel overwhelming, South of Seoul Public Health (SOS Public Health) conducted research to find the most recommended English-speaking counseling centers in several areas around Korea, including Pyeongtaek.
In order to create the following list, SOS Public Health volunteers interviewed international residents living in or near Pyeongtaek including students, educators, and US military-affiliated persons. Additionally, we searched both Korean and English online websites and databases.
The information below includes a limited list of mental health counseling centers with licensed professionals who provide services in English. As SOS Public Health continues to research, more resources may be added to the list below over time.
All organizations listed below can be found in the South of Seoul app. Download the South of Seoul App for easy access to information on resources available in South Korea.

AHS has grown from the vision of a Canadian psychologist who recognized the need for high quality, effective psychological counseling services in Korea. Starting as a one-woman company, AHS has continually grown in size, but maintained an unwavering dedication to professionalism, confidentiality, and measurable outcomes. There is no question that Korean culture is vastly different from those of which many expats in Korea originate from, and it may be difficult to find someone who really understands your experience. To that end, our English therapy team is composed of many Western expatriates who were born, raised and trained in the West. They are credentialed professionals who have achieved advanced degrees specific to Psychotherapy (psychologists, marriage & family therapists, and licensed counselors). Further, AHS professionals have current licensure in the United States or Canada, and maintain the professional standards of their governing body.
