Are you ready to rediscover living without the burden of emotional distress?

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!

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Real growth doesn't require a commute; it happens when you feel safe enough to put down the weight you've been carrying. As a remote clinician, I maintain a private space where busy women can step away from daily demands and focus entirely on themselves.
My approach goes beyond surface-level advice. As both a clinician, a parent, and someone who has experienced therapy firsthand, I know how deeply that fit matters. Together, we’ll untangle self-doubt, address the impact of past experiences, and help you tune into your body's signals. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, giving you practical strategies to navigate life's challenges and foster genuine ease.
