Marilyn Terhune-Young

My communication style

My communication style is low-key and open. You'll find that I'm empathetic and a good listener. I want to provide a caring, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing anything.

My journey to mental healthcare

My first experience in therapy occurred during a time of crisis in my own life. With the help of a therapist, I learned to manage my stress and anxiety and to create a better life for myself. At that time, I decided that I wanted to help others in the way that my therapist had helped me. It was then that I entered my training as a therapist.

My goals for you

Typically, I will encourage the client to describe areas of life where change is needed, and I will give feedback and make suggestions. Together, we will set goals in the process of building a therapeutic relationship.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other. I'll invite you to tell me how you're feeling right now and what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions to better understand your needs and what you desire from our work together. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'll always honor that.
