MELISSA YOAK, MA.ED, LPCC - DAYSPRING COUNSELING REVIEWS
I thought counseling just wasn’t for me until I came to Dayspring and realized I just hadn’t seen the right therapist. Melissa has helped me navigate through severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, medication adjustments, and psychiatrist struggles. When I have shared my most shameful and broken pieces of my story, her response has always been unconditional compassion, without even a hint of judgement. And it’s in those moments, when my shame has been met with compassion instead of judgment, that I’m able to leave my shame behind in that room, and walk away more whole.
DaySpring is a big support for me and my boys. They have partnered with me when the boys and I went through a hard time in our lives. The counselors are very caring and also speak reality in this life. They have helped my sons to work through their thoughts and emotions. I have become a better mother and person with their help. The future for my family looks good and we are ready to tackle it.
DaySpring / Melissa Yoak has been a blessing to me. She has made a huge impact on my life. The faith-based counseling has allowed me to be more effective in my personal, and business, life. I highly recommend working with DaySpring and its counselors.

EDWARD T. NOVAK, LPCC REVIEWS
Ed is great at what he does. He is always willing to be there in the time between sessions when things get hard or just to check in. He is very smart and always learning new things on many topics, so he knows the best way to help and teach you how to help yourself and make the best decisions for the work you are doing. And it is work, but he is there all the way with you. I'm lucky to have found him.
Professional and caring. I had a great experience working with Ed Novak LPCC.
