DeYoung Consulting Inc

A skilled family therapist like Dr. DeYoung can do more than treat a patient’s current situation. Using his long track record of experience in the clinical setting, Dr. DeYoung has the skills to assess a patient and develop a reasonable plan for that patient’s future needs. Our law firm hired Dr. DeYoung to work with a teenage victim of sexual abuse by her grandfather. This was a challenging task because a severe speech impediment made it difficult for the child to explain her feelings—literally and figuratively robbing her of her voice. Dr. DeYoung’s careful and caring work with the child helped her explain her thoughts, her hopes, and her fears. The work resulting in a meaningful care plan for the child, who is now on her own path toward healing.

Dr. DeYoung is a rare combination of professional skills and personal approachability. We have worked together in ministry settings, and I have gained valuable insight from him on many occasions. I highly recommend him for personal and family counseling; really for anyone seeking growth in their personal lives and relationships.

From my knowledge of Dr. DeYoung over the past 14 years, I know he is a man of integrity. When I write that, I think of an old definition: "soundness of substance." His knowledge, wisdom, attitude, and disposition all represent soundness. He's serious about life and about his calling in the arenas of marriage and family. You can trust his skills, gifts, and impartation.

Dr. DeYoung attends church with me. In my role of elder (spiritual leader) at this church, I have had multiple occasions to visit with Dr DeYoung associated with his area of expertise. I find him to be a thoughtful and professional individual and feel he would be a great mentor to people who might require his services. But over all that, I find him to be a man of faith and integrity who speaks what he feels with no double talk in clear and precise ways to ensure everyone understands what he is trying to tell them. I am confident, if I ever required his services or knew of someone who did, I would, without reservation refer them to him.

As a minister, I often refer clients to Mark DeYoung. The feedback I've gotten from the people I've referred is overwhelmingly positive. I can point to many marriages that have benefited greatly from their time with Mark. Mark has the unique ability to connect with men who haven't had good experiences with counseling, and the flexibility of him coming to your house is a definite strength. I highly recommend Mark for your counseling needs.
