TESTIMONIALS

I thought it would be difficult finding multi-cultural, English counseling services for my family situation in Korea. YPCS proved me wrong. My therapist creates a safe and understanding space for me to unravel my thoughts and feelings. Her extensive experience in the U.S., as well as in Korea, really enables her to fluently move between American and Korean cultures. This was my biggest concern in starting counseling in Korea. With the help of my therapist, I really have made dramatic improvements in my life. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember just how low and desperate I was before working with her. I have to say that her background and professional expertise really helped me to avoid the same mistakes and outcome. - 53, Mike from the US -
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 -
Living in a foreign country can be full of excitement, adventure and new experiences but there can also be some drawbacks. I’ve had to overcome many obstacles while living here – losing loved ones, adjusting to sometimes unrealistic expectations that come with living in a foreign culture, and work demands among other things. Dr. Doh has seen me through some very difficult circumstances with a lot of patience and understanding. She has given me the tools to face the bumps in the road on my own but has also taught me that it’s OK to ask for help. I am so grateful for the work she has done with me and I can recommend the service she provides without hesitation. - 34, Mary from South Africa -
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 United States -
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 gave us simple tools that we could start using from the very first session. She was able to help me to see my wife's point of view and understand her emotions. She also helped me tap into my emotions which I had previously shut out. Opening my emotional mind not only improved my marriage, but improved my friendships and performance in my career. If you need a break through in any aspect of your life, come to visit here. It is amazing how just a few small adjustments in your life style and habits can change your life. - 35, Tom from the United States -
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 -
My therapist and I had the most productive relationship of my life. She listened without judgment or ego, suggested brilliant angles of approach, and offered a lovely, empathetic holding environment where all of this could take place. I came to her overwhelmed by my past and tired of surviving, and I leave deeply moved by own strength and full of hope and excitement for the days to come. These are not words I ever imagined I would use to describe how I feel about life. Our work together has left a great imprint on my life and I look forward to all the wisdom and insight it will bring. - 22, Julie from the United States-
Thank you again for making my experience in Korea more manageable. Being in a foreign country at a young age and living by myself has been quite interesting and has helped me grow a lot. I wouldn't have been able to do it without YPCS. - 23, Stephany from the United States-
I liked most the fact that my therapist could identify factors influencing my thinking without my realizing and that he could emphasize certain important points for me to concentrate on in the future. Having this third-person or outsider's perspective was extremely helpful for me. I want to thank my therapist and You&Me services for really helping to turn my situation around and make some real improvements in my emotional state and providing an caring, listening ear for my concerns. It really made a huge difference in my recovery. Thank you. - 41, Kevin from Canada-
My therapist was very receptible to my needs, Even when I asked for an adjustment, I know that we were working together. My therapist also made herself available in an emergent situation that I experienced. Although not all of the issues I wanted to discuss were directly related to adoption, there are still indirect connections. I appreciated the opportunity to explore other issues knowing that I had a therapist who had experience with adoptees because then I didn't have to explain references to attachment or race or abandonment, etc. - 22, Dana from France -
I always felt like I was in a comfortable space. I never felt like I couldn't say what I wanted. I'm extremely grateful to have a service like this in a country that's not my own. I do not regret coming here at all and definitely will remember YPCS as a very helpful experience. - 30, Midori from Japan-
It was a safe haven to talk about issues and problems that I was facing in my life. I felt that having counseling sessions with YPCS was very beneficial and healthy. It's a very rare opportunity to have a counseling firm like YPCS where individuals can seek help and comfort. I hope people will not be afraid to try counseling. -27, Weilin from China-
