About Dan

Daniel Chung has over twenty years of wide-ranging experience working with people in all stages of life.

He is a creative, dedicated therapist who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families by coming alongside them, listening with empathy, helping to make sense of their concerns and needs, and providing vital tools to grow and thrive in life.

Daniel focuses on providing a safe, nurturing, and judgment-free space that enables clients to heal and positively progress by fostering their agency to empower them to leverage their positive qualities toward lasting, satisfying, and harmonious relationships.

He believes in holistic healing toward emotional, spiritual, and relational wellness that activates the mind, body, and spirit, and usher into deeper self-realization, purposeful living, better conflict management, and healthier coping skills over stress and grief.

Counseling for Pastors and Christian Leaders

Daniel served as a lay leader for 10 years and pastored as an ordained minister for 20 years, in addition to growing up as a pastor’s kid.

He understands what it is like to be a pastor and Christian leader: the demands, the pain, the sacrifices, the joy. He has served pastors, pastor couples and families, and Christian leaders as a counselor, coach, and spiritual director for many years. He is most passionate about helping pastors and Christian leaders to live out of their God-created true selves, overcome their brokenness (emotional and spiritual), and follow their calling to love and serve God and others.

My Therapeutic Approach

Daniel’s therapeutic approach is trauma-informed to support clients in their process of healing and client-centered to create a working alliance with empathy, acceptance, openness, and flexibility.

Daniel has worked with people of diverse cultures and ethnicities and has the ability to relate to clients with authenticity, compassion, humility, and sensitivity.
