Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Social Anxiety
Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I have significant experience helping clients overcome the debilitating effects of social anxiety, from fear of judgment to avoidance of social situations. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, providing a safe space to explore the thoughts and feelings that fuel your social fears. I also consider how cultural expectations and societal pressures can contribute to and intensify feelings of social anxiety.
Together, we'll identify triggers, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and gradually build confidence and practical skills for navigating social interactions.
Through this informed and supportive process, I empower clients to step out of isolation, connect authentically, and live more freely in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
For some people, their social anxiety is largely a physical response: Their heart pounds, their palms get sweaty, they get so flooded with stress hormones that it's hard for them to think straight.
We can work together to teach the body how to move more efficiently through that stress so it can feel safer sooner...and better yet, start addressing the original trigger so that social situations don't need to cause such a stressful reaction to beging with.
