A JOURNEY TO HEALING

Going to therapy can be a nerve-wracking thing, but you made the step in the right direction! As long as you keep showing up to do the work, you'll enjoy the fruits of your labor. When I had first booked my digital meet and greet with Dr. Ayoung, I was nervous and distraught with so many what-ifs running through my head. However, she was there—present, and wanting to listen to understand and help.

For the months that I worked with Dr. Ayoung on my addiction that I wanted to break, to then gain a better understanding of my own emotions and how to better regulate them, she was there with me, breaking the walls that keep individuals from living a full and joyful life. I cannot thank Dr. Ayoung enough for all she has taught me, and I will hold onto what I have learned from working with her.

She is a therapist who cares, collaborates with you, listens to understand, and works with you to find the best path to take together—whether it’s gaining mental or emotional stability and strength, or overcoming an addiction. In conclusion, therapy is hard work, but essential for anyone who is struggling when life hits hard. When choosing to work with Dr. Ayoung, I pray that she will be just as vital and helpful with anyone else who decides to work with her as she was with me. Thank you for everything, Dr. Ayoung!
