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.

I assist clients with creating goals to improve their mental health and wellness. My counseling style is interactive, non-judgmental and respectful.

I believe the therapeutic process is a partnership between a therapist and an active and willing participant focused on getting to wellness in their individual journey. As we all are complex and individual beings with personal underlying factors, my favored methodology is Integrative Therapy. I believe this method allows the therapist and the participant freedom to explore various aspects of self with varied approaches.

Hello and welcome. I am an Ordained Minister (Rev), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in Pennsylvania. My background is in pastoral ministry (since January 2001). My wife and I have been married since June of 2000 and we have five children ranging in ages from 12 to 18. Over the past 24 years I have spent a lot of time in counseling with individuals, couples, and families helping them to overcome their struggles (Parenting, premarital and marital issues, ADHD, depression, anxiety, gambling and substance abuse and addiction, legal issues, religious issues, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and many others). I desired to be better equipped to help, so I went back to get my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy which I completed in December of 2017. I was glad to be able to bring my real world experience to the classroom and I found that I was already putting into practice a lot of what I was studying. Over the years I have worked with clients from all walks of life. I've had clients from all faiths (and no faith) backgrounds, straight and LBGTQIA, children, teens, adults, parents, grandparents, and people in Hospice and their families. I believe that you are the expert of your life. I will help you find ways to utilize your strength to overcome your struggles and move you from your current situation to where you want to be. I will be your supporter, your cheerleader, your encourager, and your teammate. I believe that real change can start in the therapy session, but you make the change happen outside of session and in the real world. You can do it, you can achieve your goals. I'm looking forward to helping you do so.

Insured members pay an average co-pay of around $19 per session. Average co-pay is based on current insured BetterHelp members.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Hunker due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for.

- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Hunker is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.
