We are so proud of our clinical director, Amy Begnal! She did such a great job in premarital counseling with Baylen and Colin of TLC's Baylen Out Loud, facilitating a deeper connection and stronger communication skills...all while providing a warm and welcoming look into what therapy is actually like. We have so much gratitude for Baylen and Colin and for TLC for giving Amy this opportunity to shine, support an adorable couple and demystify therapy.
Thanks, also, to Anacortes American for showcasing Amy, a long-time Anacortes resident, with such a great article!
Thank you AGAIN to Rockfish Grill & Anacortes Brewery for hosting!!!
Thank you, Lauren Fisher for being here and making things happen and to Eleni M. Boosalis and all of Del Ray Psych & Wellness for starting it all!!

When Amy Begnal was asked earlier this year to provide on-screen pre-marital relationship counseling to influencer-turned-TV-star Baylen Dupree and her fiancé, she hesitated.
