Yoo, Osun

At Sunlit Psychotherapy, we believe that everyone has the inherent capacity for healing and growth. Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop the tools they need to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives. We are dedicated to offering comprehensive psychotherapy services that address the unique needs of each client, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health.

My Therapy Style

As your therapist, I am committed to creating a collaborative and client-centered therapeutic experience. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and experiences, and I strive to empower you to become the architect of your own healing journey. I view therapy as a process of exploration and discovery, where we work together to identify patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate greater self-awareness.

Through our sessions, we will create a space where you can feel safe to be your authentic self without judgment. I believe in the power of self-compassion and will encourage you to treat yourself with kindness and understanding as we navigate through challenges together. Our work will focus on empowering you to build healthy coping mechanisms, strengthen your resilience, and develop a deeper sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.

A Focus on Well-being

My therapeutic approach emphasizes incorporating practices that promote overall well-being. This includes addressing areas such as self-care, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, and boundary setting. These practices are essential for building a strong foundation for mental health and fostering a sense of balance and harmony in your life.

We will explore your unique needs and goals, tailoring our sessions to address areas like stress management, anxiety reduction, and cultivating a greater sense of inner peace.
