Seoul Psychiatry Gangnam: Your Path to Mental Wellness and Emotional Resilience

Welcome to Seoul Psychiatry Gangnam

Meet an English-Speaking Psychiatrist in the Heart of Gangnam

At Seoul Psychiatry Gangnam, we understand the importance of receiving high-quality psychiatric care in your own language. While it may seem natural to find English-speaking psychiatrists in a global city like Seoul, many expats still struggle to access the help they need due to a lack of information. We are here to bridge that gap.

Dr. Paul Woo, the director of Seoul Psychiatry Gangnam, is a board-certified psychiatrist who earned his Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. He also served in the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, USA. With extensive training and experience, Dr. Woo provides compassionate and professional care tailored to your needs.

Our multilingual staff members have lived and studied in English-speaking countries and are highly attuned to cultural differences and the unique needs of international patients. You can feel confident and comfortable from the moment you contact us.

Who We Serve

We welcome patients from all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, EU countries, Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Central Asia (such as Uzbekistan), Africa (including South Africa and Nigeria), and South America (including Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia), as well as neighboring Asian countries.

We are constantly inspired by the passion and adventurous spirit of young students and professionals who seek treatment while immersing themselves in Korean culture.

Common Issues We Treat

Many of our international patients seek help for:

  • Panic Disorder and Anxiety Disorders

  • Depression

  • Insomnia

  • Adult ADHD

Specialized Adult ADHD Care

Adult ADHD often goes undiagnosed and untreated in many countries. Korea's advanced medical system offers comprehensive evaluations that many of our patients seek out.

Common symptoms of Adult ADHD include:

  • Disorganization and difficulty prioritizing

  • Poor time management skills

  • Trouble focusing on tasks

  • Difficulty multitasking

  • Excessive restlessness or hyperactivity

  • Poor planning and low frustration tolerance

  • Frequent mood swings

  • Difficulty completing tasks

  • Impulsivity and hot temper

Adults with ADHD may struggle with unstable relationships, low self-esteem, poor academic or work performance, and frequent missed deadlines or social engagements. Our clinic provides accurate diagnosis and tailored treatments to help improve daily functioning and quality of life.
