Lynn Lyons interviews her client Devin about his remarkable journey from anxiety to success.
Need a little hope? Looking for inspiration? Lynn is joined by her client Devin who has gone from a highly anxious child with selective mutism to a socially anxious and depressed young adult (that’s when he and Lynn started working together) to a fully employed, mountain climbing guy who is now back in school pursuing a new career.
