Angela Young, LCSW
About me
With 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, I have had the privilege of working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, providing support to individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of challenges.
My approach to therapy is rooted in a deep respect for each client's unique experiences, and I believe in tailoring treatment to fit the individual’s specific needs and goals. Whether you are navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or more complex mental health issues, I am here to work collaboratively with you to address your concerns.
I am trained in several evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, among others. I integrate these modalities with compassion and flexibility, ensuring that the therapeutic process is both effective and aligned with the client’s strengths and preferences.
My focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change in your life. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and build the resilience needed to move forward with confidence. Your journey to improve your mental well-being starts now, and I am honored to be apart of it.
