a safe haven for the hurt, weary and stressed
Can you relate?
You lost a part of you due to an adverse childhood experience. You want healing but nothing is shifting. Yet you know there’s more for you. You want to unlock the door to find the truest and healthiest version of who you are.
You find yourself dreading the moments when you have to talk to your spouse/partner at home.
You come from either Asian (or Asian-American) ethnic background. And there are unique experiences that come with it. You want someone who really understands it.
You have Third Culture Kid experiences
You’re tired of trying with your spouse/partner at home. You never seem to be on the same page about finances, sex, and/or parenting.
You may be seeking some safe space to explore as a parent of LGBTQ child/ren, or you yourself may struggle with sexual identity journey (and how you might fit in) in your faith context.
That’s where Third Space comes in
Hi there. I’m Johan Kim, M.Div.,LMHC
I’m so glad you’re here.
If you can relate anything above, I'd like to assure you that I can help. I specialize in creating 1) a safe space so that 2) your emotional pain can be reduced. Together, we identify goals, explore deeper and find an achievable solution each step of the way.
Because healing can feel so exhausting, I'd like assure you again that you don't have to do it alone. This may be a hard pill to swallow; but you, in fact, are not alone. So I hope you take time. And when ready, I hope you reach out to unlock your health journey. Thanks for listening.
