Testimonials


“As a parent to a 13-year-old, I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Yasu. My daughter connected with her immediately, which was such a relief as a parent. Yasu has an incredible ability to build trust with teens while also maintaining thoughtful communication with parents when appropriate, always respecting my daughter’s privacy and comfort.

Yasu has supported my daughter through difficult family matters and even helped her tremendously socially with friendships and confidence. The impact she has had on our daughter and our family has been immeasurable. We are beyond grateful for her compassion, guidance, and support, and will forever feel indebted to her for the difference she has made in our daughter’s life.”

“I can't say enough good things about Yasu. I've known her since I was in high school, and she is the most dedicated and compassionate person I know. High school can be challenging, but without Yasu's support and wisdom, I don't think I would have made it through and become who I am today. Her kindness, patience, and generosity made it so easy to talk to her. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her during my teenage years, as she helped me build my confidence and navigate those difficult times in my life.”

“Ms. Wade is genuinely the reason I made it through school and a huge reason I am where I am today. She’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and actually takes the time to listen. As someone who was totally against it at first, it never felt like “therapy,” it felt like having someone who truly understands people and knows exactly how to support each person individually. And on top of that, she’s just super cool and really fun to talk to. Through lots of tears, jokes, and laughs, she’s genuinely one of the biggest reasons I got through school with my sanity intact.  I honestly don’t know where I’d be without her.”
