About me

Welcome to BetterHelp, I'm glad you're here. I'm a licensed counselor in Texas with 15 years of experience in veterans' hospitals and private practice settings.

I always offered a cup of water before starting an intake session—before walking through the structured intake. I would often say something about how our core beliefs helps us and times hurts us.

My approach is humanistic and psychodynamic, the quality of ones closest relationships serve as the measure of one’s emotional and mental and relational health.

On BetterHelp, I specialize in equipping men facing concerns around relationships, addictions and non-substance addictions.

I've had the privilege of leading groups for active members of the military, first responders and men wrestling with PTSD, CPTSD, substance abuse, and non-substance addictions for 10 years. .

I often use the phrase "tilting at windmills" to describe when intense emotions invade the present when working with groups —causing feel like we have to fight due to the stories we tell ourselves.

We’ll work together to find the an approach together that best addresses the concerns you bring into the counseling relationship.

I look forward to , equipping you to be the best version of yourself.

Warmly,
Bryan Young, LPC

I personally enjoy my sessions with Bryan, he respects and understands that not everyone can easily talk to a therapist. He has treated me like a friend and that seems to help me listen and understand better. Thank you Bryan

An excellent guy, he's really honest and up front with things and that clicks with my brain a lot. He always stirs me to think about what he's saying, 11/10 would recommend

I have tried therapy a few times, and it hasn’t ever really went well for me. With Bryan, things are very different. He sees through the veils I put up and helps tackle the root of the problem. Would strongly recommend Bryan, especially if you’re like me and have a hard time letting anyone in past the surface.

Bryan is great! He listens well and offers feedback when asked. If you’re looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear, he’s not your guy. If you’re looking for someone to help you grow, learn about yourself, and make real changes, then you should definitely use him.

I have only had a few sessions with Mr.Young and he is very attentive to the questions and reading the room of the situation. I appreciate this,and I look forward to having more sessions with him.
