Anthony Sung LCPC, Founder

MA Mental Health Counseling, Asbury Theological Seminary

Licensed in KS, MO, FL, and NY

"I created Crossroads Haven Counseling because I experienced healing and joy when I was at several "crossroads" in my life and got help from professional psychotherapists, mentors, and spiritual leaders. I experienced hope and healing when I was alone, addicted, and in a dark place. Growing up as an Asian-American, I was told that I needed to study more and pray more when I wasn't doing well. Everything changed for me when I experienced a healthy, authentic connection with God, my youth pastor, and my professional counselors. I began my own journey of self-discovery and realized that I'm here to help others find out who they are and become more confident and resilient.

​

I realized how important it was to talk to someone outside of my immediate family and friends even when feeling good. I've traveled the world, studied abroad, and lived in various cities in America, which was amazing but at the same time challenging.  Having a professional counselor in my corner helped me adjust.

 

You can take a look at my experience below and see that I am able to work with a wide range of clients. However, if you're going through life transitions, an identity crisis, or difficulty adjusting then I'm your guy. "
