What my clients have to say, matter to me!

 Being a young black woman, it's not really known for us to seek help about personal traumas within our families. We are often told to overlook or sweep it under the rug. However, I knew I needed help with what I was dealing with. That’s when my search led me to Mrs. Johnson. My first encounter with her was very different, unlike what I was used to.  Right away, Mrs. Johnson altered my negative belief about therapy and why it couldn’t work.   Just in our first session, she was able to give me a new outlook on my situation and life, and I hadn't even opened up to her completely just yet. I immediately felt comfortable in her presence. She never forced anything out of me that I wasn’t ready to reveal. But boy!  let me tell you when I was ready, it came pouring out.  

Since working with Mrs. Johnson, I look at my past experiences with new eyes, which has changed how I see myself and the world around me. I am learning to trust myself and my strength more as I navigate the world around me.  I’ve also come to the realization that validation comes from within, that I don’t need to seek the approval of others.  I am learning to love myself more each day, have hope in my heart and the courage to speak my truth. With Mrs. Johnson’s help, I am finding my voice again, which has been drowned out for too long by the noise around me. I now feel empowered and I am truly embracing this new woman that I am becoming.  I am excited to see what the next chapter of my healing journey will bring.

I started seeing Tuyet for myself after witnessing the tremendous progress that she was making with my autistic son, who was struggling with anxiety and depression. I began to realize that I was also suffering from the same conditions. My sessions with Tuyet has been life changing. She helped to change me and my perception about life. I learned to love myself again and live in the present without worrying about the future or thinking about the past.  It’s amazing to see how beautiful life is when you love yourself.  Not only did my life change with her help but also my environment and family.

I felt safe with Tuyet as soon as our first session.  Her patience as well as her strong understanding of the Asian American experience prompted my own revelation of how interconnected my stress and my stress and my health related issues were.  The pressure that I was unconsciously exerting on my myself as a result of wanting to please my parents ultimately led to a serious medical condition.  I was grateful to have her at a pivotal moment in my life. Now that I'm in remission and pretty physically, mentally, and emotionally stable, I can say that  she has equipped me with some important tools to move through my life with.  Can't recommend her enough!

I initially sought out therapy to help with my intense anxiety, eating disorder, depression, and PTSD. I was seeing another therapist for these heavy feelings. I felt a little better, but the intrusive thoughts and feelings kept coming back. I decided to go another direction and started seeing Tuyet. It has only been a couple months but my life has changed SO dramatically since then. Throughout my whole life, I never enjoyed my life. I never understood why I had to go through the things I was going through. I could never see myself living the life I desired; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy, happy, kind, genuine, confident, and in the present. I thought it was absolutely not possible for me.  After the 3rd or 4th session of seeing Tuyet, things began to shift.   My mindset began changing and as a result,  my behavior followed suit.  I am able to breathe again. I know now that I am all those things that I thought I wasn't and couldn't be. I know for a fact that I can do anything. I no longer hold myself back. I respond to my triggers better. I am releasing weight and becoming healthier. People are taking notice of my positive and lighter energy. I am  much happier. My skin is glowing and clearing up. The people I am around are slowly changing to become better for themselves. More opportunities are coming to me out of nowhere, all because of my positive outlook and energy that I now possess. Tuyet has helped me to remove the negative thoughts that I had about myself. She is helping me to transform into the person I've always wanted to be. I feel safe in my skin and in my own body.  I  understand others better. I am able to react to situations rationally all because I have better coping skills.  I don’t go home emotionally drained. Stress doesn’t scare me or control me anymore. Because of Tuyet, I am becoming the person I have always dreamed of. Tuyet shares stories and insight that constantly help to change and shape my perspective about myself and the world.  She expresses how proud she is of me. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Honestly, I found myself because of her. I enjoy my life so much more because of her. I know my purpose  in life now  is to help others heal, and I am doing that right now, by healing myself. Thank you so much, Tuyet.

 First, I wanted to preface this by sharing that I come from an African American household where I was raised with the cardinal rule that you don’t tell your business to anyone. “What goes on in the house stays in the house”. 

Like many of us, the pandemic took a toll on me. I unexpectedly lost my job which triggered depression, sadness, pain, and doubt. Everything seemed like it was closing in on me and I found myself stuck, paralyzed in fear and uncertainty.  I knew I needed to change my way of thinking to get unstuck.   Everything from my past to present came crashing down on me, forcing me to face my reality. I knew I needed an outlet.   I started actively searching for a therapist and found Tuyet. Being that therapy is not the norm nor encouraged in my culture, I did not know what to expect.  My first impression of Tuyet was that she was pleasant and I found her to be a good listener. What brought me back was how easy it was to open up to her. She asked questions but in a way that didn’t make you feel like you were being interrogated.  She has become my biggest cheerleader, but she is also one who challenges my beliefs and thinking. She is a joy to talk to because we share a lot laughter, she listens, she makes  me look at situations with different perspectives and helps me to reframe it. The one thing that stood out about her was her frequent texts to see how I was doing. She doesn’t just leave it at the office. She’s like the best friend you never had. My sessions with Tuyet have helped to heal me. Moreover, I get to see the changes I’ve made and that makes me super proud of myself.  Thanks for being my therapist

~Nechelle 

I absolutely  love my sessions with Tuyet. She has helped me through so many tribulations. I can see an feel myself becoming stronger emotionally and psychologically every day.  She is so wise with her words.  I cannot imagine where I would be without her.  She's not just my therapist but also someone I can turn to anytime for support. 

-Jessica 

 Tuyet is the bomb! she is very patient and has the best antidotes and analogies for situations to help me understand and process. I’ve only been with Tuyet for a short while but already, I feel so much calmer, confident, and I’m starting to heal after many years of abuse. Tuyet has provided a safe environment for me to process and heal in a nonjudgmental way, while empowering me to become a better version of myself every day. She has also provided me with coping skills  and to move forward in my life. For that, I am truly thankful.  

-Emma Grace 

I found Tuyet when I was actively searching for someone who would be able to provide me the wisdom, but more importantly, be an integral part of my team to help me build a better future for myself. Tuyet has exceeded my expectations in every way. She has helped me to discover my potential and learn so much about myself. From that, I have been able to utilize my talents in ways that I’ve never imagined before.  I now have the lifelong tools to help me overcome any challenges that life throws my way.

At an early age I had to deal with the belief that I was a burden. Multiple and ongoing conflicts within my family caused me to believe that that I was hated and that I served no purpose in this life. My dad then struggled with alcohol abuse. This took an even bigger toll on my mental health. I lived in a house where I was only seen by my mother. Because of this I began to depend on her for everything, emotionally and physically. When I was eleven years old, we moved to Dallas Texas and the situation only got worse. Not much later, I began to deal with bladder control issues. At first, I thought it was because of my diet and my water intake.  Although this did indeed have a toll on my physical health, but it was also my body's way of screaming out  that I needed mental health support. I began to see doctors, but they couldn’t help me.  We then moved back to Wichita. I became even more depressed, and even hopeless.  Being from a Hispanic family, my parents didn't believe in therapy so we continued to seek medical help.  It took them months to acknowledge that I needed more than medical help. I was finally referred to Mrs. Johnson by a family advocate. With her help, I began to acknowledge my feelings, uncover by old believes, and ultimately understand that by changing my thoughts, I was able to change my life. Now I can control my emotions which also helped me control my physical and mental health. Because of this, my whole life has changed. The cloud that was my constant companion disappeared.  I was able to return to school and finish off my senior year strong. I am now working full time and pursuing higher education in the fall. My future looks so bright. I now know my strength and power. Mrs. Johnson made me comfortable talking to a stranger about all the things going on inside me. She never once made me feel like I was overreacting or in the wrong for the way I felt. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and I am proud to say that I gained a beautiful friendship.

I have endured many devastating events throughout my life that have left me battling PTSD, depression and anxiety. I couldn’t seem to find a way out of the horrible sinking crater. I was stuck. I didn’t really understand what I  was actually going through until I started therapy with Tuyet.  Tuyet has and is currently helping me cope with and how to manage my anxiety and emotions. I am finally crawling out of the darkness and can see the sun shining down on me. I don’t wake with a cloud over me anymore. I now have hope. Tuyet is very easy to talk to, she is an amazing professional and human  being with compassion and exceptional knowledge in her profession. She has made it easy for me to be excited about coming to therapy because I know when I walk out her door, I will feel refreshed and ready to tackle the obstacles ahead.    

-Michelle  

 I share Tuyet's contact with everyone I know, with the highest recommendation!  My journey with her has opened a lot of healing of issues that I’ve repressed for so long.  She provides a safe place to discover yourself and your past.

RRT has been incredibly transformative in my journey to heal from an eating disorder that plagued me since I was just 5 years old. As I approach my 22nd birthday, I can reflect on how RRT, along with therapy sessions, has brought about profound changes in my life. In the past, I would overeat and engage in binge eating, experiencing body dysmorphia and self-hate. Overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, anger, and anxiety, I would mindlessly consume food, even when my body was in pain from being too full. It felt as if I was living as a mere shell, trapped in a constant state of depression and anxiety, always worried about my next meal.

I tried various diets in hopes of losing weight, resorting to unhealthy methods. However, in July of 2022, I began seeing Tuyet for therapy, and within a couple of months, I found myself detesting my own being less and feeling hopeful about changing my life. Surprisingly, my health started to improve without any changes in my diet or exercise routine. This discovery led me to realize the power of changing my thoughts and self-talk, which subsequently influenced my body's transformation.

Since embarking on this journey with Tuyet, I have not experienced any binges. However, I still struggled with body image issues and anxiety surrounding food. That's when I decided to give RRT a try, hoping to understand the roots of my eating disorder that emerged at such a young age. I desired this knowledge so that I could continue healing.

On May 27th, I had my RRT appointment with Tuyet, who handled the session with great care and gentleness. I felt completely at ease and excited to uncover the hidden truths buried within me. We delved into my past when I was 5, 6, and 11 years old. Through this exploration, I learned that as a young girl, I felt the need to hide and eat because I believed others were judging me. In a twisted way, I believed it made me safer. However, I also discovered that the purpose of my eating disorder was to teach me that I have the capacity to heal and positively change anything in my life. It was a lesson I could pass on to others, empowering them with the same realization.

Tuyet helped me understand that my eating disorder, although misguided, was an attempt to protect me. Instead of aiding me, it caused harm. Through her guidance and support, I was able to release it with love. Throughout and after the session, Tuyet validated all my emotions, making me feel embraced and truly seen. I yearned to break free from the clutches of this eating disorder, which had stolen so much of my childhood, teenage years, and adulthood.

Later that day, during my brother's graduation and birthday celebration, I noticed a remarkable change within myself. I no longer felt nervous or anxious about enjoying the food and festivities. I ate delicious food without any anxiety or guilt, joyfully engaging in playful activities with my siblings, feeling confident and happy. The recording Tuyet created for me further boosted my confidence, happiness, and inner peace.

Another moment that affirmed the effectiveness of RRT was when I went to Subway for lunch. I ordered a small sandwich, one bag of chips, and a small drink. As I ate, it struck me that in the past, I would have chosen the largest sandwich, two bags of chips, cookies, and a large drink, consuming it all even when I was already full. I realized that I no longer overeat to cope with sadness, anger, or anxiety. I now stop eating when I am satisfied and don't harbor guilt for indulging in foods I love. Every time I catch myself naturally stopping because I am full, it evokes a profound emotional response within me. Every time!

I am immensely grateful to Tuyet for her beautiful gifts and everything she has done to support me on this healing journey.

As I travel this journey called life, I struggled with anxiety.  My anxiety WAS (not any longer) taxing. The fear of  public speaking and taking exams was debilitating.  My encounter with Tuyet Johnson was a God sent. Hearing of my situation, she suggested that I look into RTT( Rapid Transformation Therapy). I stepped out on faith and agreed to give it a try, although, I didn’t know what to expect!  I just surrendered to God’s will and allowed Him to order his footsteps with Mrs. Johnson in her healing work. It was such an impressive  process. The outcome was life changing and a  Burst of Fresh Air  for my well-being.  Mrs. Johnson also encouraged me to follow my dreams…….Guess what?  My dreams are becoming my reality

~Sonnya

 Mrs. Johnson has helped to tremendously improve my quality of life. I was struggling with depression, lack of purpose and clarity for my future. She has helped me to see things from a different perspective, which has helped me to process certain issues better. I also partook in her Rapid Transformational Therapy. After just one session of this hybrid hypnotherapy, I was able to look at my maladaptive tendencies and change them. Listening to the recording nightly has given me more confidence. My new mindset has opened up a new carreer path for me  and has given me hope that I can attain my goals. I’ve been thoroughly pleased with my therapy. Mrs. Johnson is the best therapist I've had. I strongly recommend her to others.

Tuyet, a year and a half ago you offered to help me work on a specific issue using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT).  From one clinician to another, I don’t know why I waited so long but I am so glad I took you up on your offer! I appreciate you helping me through this issue which had been nagging at me. I did not realize how deeply my thought process had been ingrained and for such a long time. It's amazing how I am now able to quickly and effectively work through it when the issue when it pops up. RTT is an effectively tool and  I’m still enjoying the positive effects of the experience. You were very kind and held the space for me so that I could work through the problem. I felt safe and cared for. Thank you, Tuyet, you are a very skilled clinician! 

~MK  

I've been blessed with a wonderful and supportive husband, two beautiful children and a  rewarding career as a teacher where I get to make an impact and difference everyday.   But somehow, I continued to struggle with feeling of emptiness, not enough-ness  and  physical and mental exhaustion on the daily.  I sought help and made some adjustments in my life in hopes that I would be  able to be more engaged and present with my family but the changes didn't stick.  I finally reached out to Tuyet and she recommended giving RTT a try.  I honestly had to pray about it because it was such a new concept to me  but I'm so glad I did!  Tapping into my subconscious mind, I was able to uncover some layers of childhood loneliness that led to negative beliefs about life and work.  With Tuyet's help, I was able to shift my mindset right away. I saw changes in my attitude, actions and reactions towards the balance of work and home life. RTT saved my family!  For anyone who is skeptical about RTT, rest assured that you are safe hand with Tuyet.  

~C.S 

Tuyet's supportive counselling and RTT have proved a pivotal point in my journey. While I admit I was apprehensive about RTT, I am so glad I had the courage to try it. Our session allowed me to access feelings and safely explore situations in my childhood. I have struggled with binge eating for years, and Tuyet has helped me learn how I can be the person today that I needed then.

I am grateful for the kindness, validation, and respect with which Tuyet has treated my feelings. She has been a powerful guide and ally in revisiting difficult periods in my life. She has helped me reframe harmful habits as the results of traumatic experiences, and less about personal faults. Through our sessions, I feel more equipped now than ever, to continue the much needed work in my life.

I  have been to another therapist and didn’t get what I thought I was going to get out of the talking sessions. I struggled with being vulnerable, communicating feelings and emotions. I really didn't understanding myself and what was causing my negative behavior patterns, emotional and physical pain. I had been researching RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) and decided that was the way to go for me. I got in contact with Tuyet and she immediately got me in for a consult and within a couple weeks I got my RTT scheduled.  Needless to say, it was phenomenal! If you’re nervous or apprehensive about the process, much like I was, don’t be! Tuyet explained the entire process upfront and made the RTT session easy and very relaxing. I was able to tap back into my subconscious memories.  I am now a firm believer in RTT.  For anyone looking to change negative behaviors to free themselves from emotional, physical and mental pain and to actually start living their best life, without the traditional talk therapy, give Tuyet a call. Thank you Tuyet for everything!!! You’re phenomenal and so is the RTT process.

~Brian K  

 This year, I decided I no longer wanted to live with anxiety because it was holding me back from fully enjoying life. Tuyet did an incredible RTT session with me. The results were powerful as my mindset shifted right away. I was able to uncover and understand how my old beliefs were keeping me from moving forward and making progress in my life. I truly enjoyed working with Tuyet. The tailor-made recording that she created for me helped to replace the old beliefs with new ones. Tuyet has a very nice and soothing voice and invested great time around my goals and wishes. I can listen to the recording forever. Her intentional follow up conversations and emails helped me to stay motivated on my path of transformation. I will definitely come back again for another session on a different issue .
