I am equipped with 10 years’ experience in the mental health field and qualified to provide mental health therapeutic services in school, residential, hospital and community-based settings, which require expertise in clinical psychology, treatment planning, and case management. Organized, experienced, dedicated, and utilize a client centered approach. I have an eclectic background and range of skills in counseling.

The sessions I had with Ms. Young were sooo helpful. The worksheets and breathing exercises made a world of difference for me during my anxiety attacks.
My thoughts are not racing anymore. I can slow my thoughts down and process them. I will recommend Ms. Young to several of my family members,
I feel so much better!!!!
Thanks

Kristin really listens when you speak, and doesn't bog down her replies with technical jargon. I appreciate the perspectives she offers while still making my feelings and views feel valid. She is very kind and I appreciate her guidance very much.
