My counselor provided safe and comfortable space for me to be open and candid about my experiences, allowing for me to express myself without fear of judgement which helped me to process many difficult emotions and experiences. -34, Joe from the US-
My therapist was open to feedback and familiar with the hardships faced by adopted Koreans returning to Korea, so I felt like each session strengthened our communication and working relationship. The result was that therapy felt more like a partnership where we were equals. At the same time, I appreciated the warm guidance and insightful questioning from my therapist. Overall, I had a great experience. -37, Jackie from the US-
By coming to You&Me, I have experienced increased self-awareness and empowerment. I am also able to make healthier choices and manage my emotions better. - 25, Chad from Singapore -
Setting goals at the end of each session was very helpful. I also liked hearing about my progress from my counselor. - 27, Harry from the UK -
The thing I found the most helpful was having a non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore my inner thoughts and feelings. It’s like looking into a mirror so you can see yourself better – through a compassionate light. I think it helped “fix” a lot of my distorted thinking, shame, and self-loathing. - 48, Susan from the US -
Sharing my experience with a counselor who shares my same race and understanding of both US/Korean culture, the warmth/familiarity of the sessions, the history/trust built with my counselor over the years. - 30, Kim from the US -
YPCS provided a safe and non-judgmental space to process and work through a variety of mental health related factors. The time spent with YPCS was beneficial and a positive influence during an adjustment to Seoul. - 33, JK from Sweden -
My therapist was deeply empathetic in a relatable way. It made me more comfortable and made it easier to establish a rapport. I am appreciative of YPCS and its mission. She gives me hope for the future and it makes me feel better knowing how deeply committed the staff here are to their clients. - 29, Calla from the USA -
I was encouraged to take active steps to confront the stresses I was facing, helping me to get "unstuck" even when results were not ideal. I'm very grateful for the help I'm received in my counseling. I know that there is a way forward, even if it is not an easy one. Thank you very much. - 33, Julian from France -
My therapist was very professional during all sessions. I felt comfortable talking to her all the time. She helped me a lot to manage my relationships better. Working with her has positively impacted my personal life and my work performance. - 26, Charlotte from Canada -
I am very grateful for the professional, caring and very understanding therapist. She understood me, listened to my concerns, and at times encouraged me to think from different perspectives. It made me think more deeply and I learned to find a sense of peace with issues which previously deeply affected my life. I am very satisfied with my counseling sessions and feel happier today. - 29, Steve from the United Kingdom -
I am very thankful that I was able to work with my therapist. Her support and understanding was incredibly helpful. Therapy has helped me to not give up on myself. I didn’t have to worry about what to say. I could be honest and “pour” everything that was on my heart and mind.

My therapist made me feel validated to acknowledge my pain instead of hiding it or saying "nah, it's not a big deal." Just to confirm that my experience with some people were bad was really healing. - 23, Kara from the USA -
The empathy and wisdom of my counselor, her genuine care and listening, were definitely very helpful. It seemed she did not try to give me answers, but rather have me reveal them on my own with her guidance. I loved my counselor's methods, and learned a lot also from many exercises I was given during the sessions. It was great honor to be working with my counselor. - 41, Devorah from Germany -
I was able to discuss things openly & honestly. The therapist helped me to realize things about my own thinking & behavior and suggested effective techniques to deal with my issues. I was feeling very helpless & hopeless when I arrived for the first time but I was able to learn about myself & effective techniques to manage some of the issues that were bothering me. I feel hopeful about my future. - 21, Dan from France -
My therapist was very helpful in understanding my needs and personality. She was great at asking the best questions to help guide me to understanding my feelings and reactions to certain events. The staff and waiting area are very professional and I always felt comfortable and welcomed to the office. - 41, Emma, from Netherlands -
