I’m Gabi Koyenov, a therapist and storyteller, diving into life's mysteries and the human journey. Growing up on the streets of Queens has taught me to have lots of heart and cunning. Raised by immigrant parents that valued education, when it was time to go to high school, I went to a private jewish school I was not ready for. The culture-shock made me fascinated by why people are different. I began devouring every YouTube video on the subject like a hungry lion cub. This, and working with my own high school counselor lit a fire in me. I quickly became the go to guy for anyone needing help.
