Hi there!!! My name is Sarah Younger, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Reclaimed Hearts and Minds Counseling in Pennsylvania. First of all, I want to say congratulations at taking the first step in reaching out to a counselor. As someone who has been on both sides of the counseling experience, I can understand how difficult it can be for some to make that decision. It can be hard to admit when someone feels like they need additional help in their lives to get things moving in a positive direction. It's important to recognize that this is not a flaw, and that teamwork is sometimes the best solution for an issue. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to help you find your desired goals. In working with me, you will find a safe place to open up, someone who will emotionally support you, and someone who will work with you to collaborate on what your best path may be. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is very important and that you need to feel comfortable with someone to open up and trust. I am authentic, caring, and kind, but also not afraid to give constructive feedback. I have extensive experience with addictions, codependent relationships, self esteem issues, depression, anxiety and trauma. I have some training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which can be very helpful in aiding change in maladaptive thoughts patterns or working through emotions related to anxiety and trauma! I believe therapy is a time of reclamation, which is defined as: rescuing from an undesirable state and regaining possession. We are not always in control of things that happen to us, or that we go through, but we do have the right to take back the power that is rightfully ours.

She's very nice warm and understanding. It's a safe place and she knows what she's doing.
