Family Therapy in Petoskey, MI

My passion for providing counseling comes through the desire to make all of my clients feel heard and supported throughout their therapeutic journey and life journey. I provide therapy services for children, adolescents, adults, and families with my specialty areas including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, stress reduction, family and peer relationship challenges, eating disorders and body image issues.

My "ideal" client is a child, pre-teen, teen, young adult, adult, couple, or family. Together we can work on any number of issues from communication to adjusting to new life circumstances; events from your past that are impacting your present; parenting children or teens, or individuating from parents; anxiety, depression and other matters of mood; relationships with family, friends and coworkers; co-dependency and self-advocacy; personal values and belief systems.... I'm here to meet you where you are & to support you as you evolve into your best self.

I am licensed both as a Clinical Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist. I also have a Ph.D. in Quantum Advanced Medicine. I do therapy with individuals for depression, anxiety and many other life issues. I work with couples and families through Marriage and Family Therapy which is my specialty area. Furthermore, attending to the grief and loss through a divorce is also an important component of family work. Therapy with adolescents and children, sexual and alcohol addictions are critical components of my practice today. Clients come to me because of my strong emphasis on natural treatment consultations when possible.

Life can feel especially challenging if your journey has taken you on a path outside of the social norms. People who have experienced life in the military, those who deal with depression & anxiety, couples who are struggling in their relationships, and people of faith can often feel secluded. As a counselor I strive to normalize life experiences and assist in navigating the situations that my clients encounter. My goal is to provide a space for hope, strength, and growth.

The path to healing starts here. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is a very personal and important decision. My name is Daeun (pronounced Ta-un) and I have worked closely with a number of children and adolescents, using play, sand tray, senses and art therapeutically to help work through trauma and family conflicts. I am equally devoted and qualified to work with adults and implement a variety of treatment methods including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

Life can be hard and sometimes you find yourself struggling with something that you just don’t know how to overcome on your own. That’s where counseling comes in. At Still Space Counseling, I start from the belief that you are whole; that you have everything you need within you right now to heal and thrive in this life. You are not your struggle. Underneath the anxiety, depression, pain, loneliness, anger, insecurity, obsession, addiction...there is an authentic Self, and that is who I will see and help to uncover. I believe that as you find safety and trust within yourself, you will have the power to overcome any challenge.

I work with individuals who wish to live a full and rewarding life regardless of past experiences or current challenges. My clients have a range of issues which may include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, recent or remote trauma, childhood maltreatment, family dysfunction, women's issues, distortions of thought, or grief and loss. I use a variety of carefully chosen modalities to assist clients in reaching their personal goals. Such modalities might include CBT, traditional talk therapy, relaxation, biofeedback, pyschodynamic interpretation, assessment measures, and reading or writing material.

At times life brings challenging experiences that feel too large to overcome. The results are exhaustion and feeling lost from emotional upset with no solution in sight. Are you someone who is carrying the struggle of trauma, betrayal, conflicts in your relationship? Do you battle the struggles of out of control sex/porn behaviors, alcohol/drug issues, depression/anxiety? Know that you do not have to silently carry these burdens alone. Humans are resilient and the answers are within. You can prevail. I welcome you to a safe, non-judgmental place to begin your transformation, as you discover what lie's within you.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as; anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

Life is about transition and transformation, from the time we enter the world, and with every transition comes increased exposure to greater life stressors. These stressors may result in sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, PTSD, impaired relationships, anger or addiction. Through therapy, we will explore the origin of those symptoms, identify positive coping techniques, establish healthy boundaries and implement change, allowing for personal growth and improved self-efficacy. Hope and healing begins today, with just one phone call.

Welcome. I am so happy you are here. As humans we are extremely resilient and adaptive to our surroundings.

I specialize in guiding people back to themselves, while setting the conditions for healing to take place. Given the right conditions our bodies and minds can heal.
