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.

  • Talking to your significant other is just so stressful. He or she just does not get it.

  • You may believe it’s all over with your partner; you're finding yourself adjusting to a new stage in life. It's understandable you might be searching for help.

  • You come from either Asian (or Asian-American) ethnic backgrounds. And there are unique experiences that come with it and you want someone who really gets it.

  • You have Third Culture Kid experiences or have unique story of adoption.

  • Cancer journey is more than you can bear. You may be grieving. But sometimes you find yourself not having enough energy to even grieve.

  • 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, MA. 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 the following issues: social anxiety, depression, trauma (Individual, Family and Racial types), and Couples Counseling, marital separation or grief counseling. Additionally I treat PTSD affecting marriage and parenting. I also help parents of LGBTQ children or one's sexual identity issues in religious contexts.

It may be a cliche to say this. But the journey to healing can be exhausting. And you’re not alone. I'm here to help. So, I hope you take time. And when you're ready, I hope you reach out.

My Services

Individual Counseling

I'm trained in Person-Centered, Solution-focused approaches, Gottman Couples and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. But more than anything I'm collaborative. I meet you at where you are, never taking charge of your steering wheel, but rather join in your car to only help navigate in your passenger seat or backseat.

Couples Therapy

Using Gottman’s Couples therapy, we work together with attention to healing, intimacy, and communication issues.

Consultation

I offer clinical consultation for your practice and coaching for organizational changes for executive faith-leaders.
