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 backgrounds. And there are unique experiences that come with it. And you want someone who really understands it.

  • You have Third Culture Kid experiences

  • 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 focus on trauma (Individual and Racial types), and Couples Counseling. In addition to depression and social anxiety, I see concerning Minority or Third Culture Kid Experience(s), PTSD affecting marriage and parenting, parents of LGBTQ children or one's sexual identity issues in religious contexts.

It may be a cliche to say this. But healing can be exhausting. But you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help. So, I hope you take time. And when you're ready, I hope you reach out to unlock your health journey. Thank you for listening.
