Becoming You Starts Here

Emotional Intelligence for the High-Functioning Leader

CedarSeoul is a premier psychology and leadership counseling practice for individuals ready to break through emotional blocks, elevate performance, and reconnect to what matters most.
We don't just help you feel better — we help you become who you're meant to be.

Who We Serve:

For the Visionaries, Founders, & Quiet Powerhouses

You're smart. Capable. High-achieving.
But even you feel stuck sometimes — overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, or just... off.

CedarSeoul was built for people like you — the ones who carry a lot, give a lot, and expect more from life. We specialize in helping high-functioning professionals gain clarity, heal hidden emotional patterns, and become deeply aligned leaders — at home, at work, and within.

Our Approach:

Psychology Meets Purpose

At CedarSeoul, we blend the rigor of evidence-based psychology with the clarity of executive coaching.
This isn’t surface-level self-care — this is systematic inner work for sustainable transformation.

  • Grounded in Emotional Intelligence and Neuroscience

  • Culturally fluent, insight-driven, and emotionally precise

  • Built for ambitious professionals who want depth, not just coping

Dr. Ayoung Phang


Licensed Psychologist | Emotional Intelligence Specialist| Leadership Coach

Based in Los Angeles and serving clients worldwide, I specialize in helping high-functioning professionals unlock deeper emotional clarity, resilience, and aligned leadership.

In addition to leading CedarSeoul, my psychology and leadership counseling practice, I serve as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. I bring over a decade of experience bridging clinical psychology with executive development — empowering individuals to lead with insight, purpose, and calm authority.

Bilingual in English and Korean, I offer a globally informed perspective shaped by my life across the United States and Korea. This dual-cultural lens allows me to connect meaningfully with diverse clients — offering nuanced, culturally attuned guidance that honors both Eastern and Western values.

Specialties include:

  • High-performance anxiety and emotional regulation

  • Executive coaching through emotional intelligence

  • Identity exploration and leadership alignment

  • Cross-cultural navigation and transition support

Whether you're navigating career transitions, expanding your leadership capacity, or seeking more grounded emotional presence — I offer a depth-oriented, integrative approach that aligns your inner world with your outer impact.
