As we move through different life stages, I sense my way of expressing love shifting, and my parents’ expectations about love shifting too. We feel the tension, and we’re learning to meet somewhere in the middle, because we still want connection.

It’s like a catch-22. I grew up hearing how my grandparents suffered through war and poverty so that my parents could live a better life. I watched my parents struggle with immigration so that I could live a better life. Is it really ok for me to live that better life?

I remember that feeling of immense freedom after my first therapy session. It was as though for the first time in my life, I could say anything I wanted, any way I wanted, without worrying about what my therapist would think of me.

As an Asian American, I became a therapist because I’ve wrestled (and still wrestle) with this very question. I’ve met so many others in my community who do too. It makes sense that my family would prioritize safety; I feel deeply connected to the hardships they endured through war, poverty, and immigration. The memories of home they cherish have become mine as well. Somehow, their stories live on through me, and I’m learning how to make space for my own.

Meet Melody ✨

Melody Kim is a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and received her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the College of William and Mary. Melody works with children, teens, and adults and specializes in anxiety, OCD, depression, and body-focused repetitive behaviors.

With Melody, you’ll find a gentle and compassionate approach, creating a safe space where you can unburden your heart. Her therapy style blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), all focused on being authentic, empathetic, and empowering. As a second-generation Asian American, Melody also brings a culturally informed perspective to therapy.

While Melody is all about meeting you where you are in life, she is specifically trained in helping people shift their relationship with anxiety and OCD. This can include generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and agoraphobia. She also works with different forms of OCD, such as contamination, just-right, harm, scrupulosity, and body dysmorphia, as well as body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking, hair pulling, and nail-biting. Over time, clients often feel more empowered to live in a way that aligns with their values rather than their fears.

Interested in working with Melody? Reach out to us at (314) 296-3222 or hello@terracehousestl.com.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re allowed to want more
more ease, more joy, more freedom
this series is for you.

Our therapist, Melody, invites us into a tender exploration
of identity, belonging, and self-trust.

Rooted in her experience as an Asian American,
she reflects on the cultural values that shaped her
and asks what it might look like to honor our roots
without losing ourselves.

Her words offer space to breathe,
to feel,
to imagine another way.

This is for anyone learning that being good
isn’t the same as being whole. 🌿

The pursuit and experience of self-love is our life’s work and an uncharted journey offering the greatest gift of freedom one can know in life.

Just as we may have felt or developed anxiety, shame, guilt, fear, or other responses in relationship due to pain or rupture, we can also heal. Healing comes through aligning with our values, nourishing ourselves, reclaiming and reauthoring the stories and patterns we repeat, and expressing our needs, wants, and ways of relating in these relationships.

Some days in therapy feel like catching your breath.
Some feel like deep dives into big emotions.
All of it is part of the work, and I’m here for every bit of it.

What if we attune ourselves to hope? Choosing it repeatedly, expanding our access to it, and building our capacity for it.

Let it serve as a calm amidst the tidal waves of daily challenges—grounding us in wisdom, growth, intuition, and a deep knowing of possibilities.

Hope can become a renewed and powerful way to center the body, steering us away from slipping into overwhelm or despair.
