Michelle Young

My communication style

My communication style is a balance of warmth, compassion, and directness. In our sessions, you can expect an environment where you feel truly heard and understood, while also being gently challenged to grow. I strive to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore your emotions, and work toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has been shaped by my own life experiences. As a former foster child, veteran, and mother who has faced profound loss, I bring a deep sense of empathy and understanding to my work. These experiences drive my passion for helping others find healing, resilience, and hope, no matter the challenges they face.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process in my practice. Together, we'll identify your hopes for therapy and break them down into manageable, actionable steps. I believe in creating goals that are both meaningful and achievable, providing guidance and support as you move toward the future you envision.

Our first session

Your first session with me will focus on building trust and understanding. We’ll discuss your history, explore what brought you to therapy, and identify the changes you’d like to see in your life. This is also a time for you to ask questions and get a sense of how we’ll work together.
