Tim Young, MA, LPC

WHO I HELP: Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, or depression that affects your relationships, your career, or your day-to-day life? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by these issues and not know where to turn? Did you have a complex and difficult childhood? Or maybe you struggle with drug or alcohol misuse? Do you wonder if life could be more fulfilling? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the competing demands of life and trying to find more balance. If you are motivated to make important changes in your life, therapy can be a big help. HOW I HELP: I believe your life can be more fulfilling and that therapy can be a key to this. I start by meeting you where you are. I help you by individualizing therapy to meet your specific needs. I offer client-centered, trauma-informed, compassionate care so you can find the healing you deserve. I provide psychodynamic therapy. This is a type of talk therapy that focuses on your current experience, but also explores the past. Psychodynamic therapy can help you improve your understanding of yourself and others. It can also help you learn new ways of coping and improve your overall resiliency. FINDING THE RIGHT FIT FOR THERAPY: Finding the right fit is important. Therapy is a time commitment. Being committed to the change process involves showing up and speaking as freely and openly as you can. From the patient point of view, it is important to have a belief that you can improve your life with the help of the therapist. We might call this: "faith" in the process. I specialize in individual therapy and therapy is often long-term. I want to help my patients get to the root of their issues and sustain meaningful changes that will last a lifetime.
