Biography

Dr. Young Ok Kim was born and grew up in South Korea. Prior to coming to the USA in 2007, she

served as a missionary with Operation Mobilization (OM) in India and Siberia, as well as at the

OM Korea Headquarters for ten years.


Dr. Kim hold four masters’ degrees: Intercultural Studies, Theology, Marriage and Family

Therapy, and Clinical Psychology. She also holds a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. In

addition to her own missionary life experience, Dr. Kim truly believes that God trained her in

theology, missionary, and psychology in order to better provide member care for missionaries

and their families. She hopes and prays that God will use her as an instrument for holistic

healing of His wounded people. She wrote her doctoral dissertation on “Exploring the Lived

Experience of Suffering Related to Traumatic Events among Korean Missionaries: An

Interpretative Phenological Analysis.”


Currently, Dr. Kim works as a clinical psychologist and serves as a board member of Narramore

Christian Foundation (NCF) and the president of Korean American Wellness Association

(KAWA), a non-profit organization.
