Detra Young

My communication style

I'm warm, personable, supportive, and direct. I'll give you space to process while also asking questions, offering feedback, and helping you recognize patterns you may not see on your own. I'll gently challenge you when needed and encourage you to consider new perspectives while creating a space where you can be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

For more than 15 years, I've worked in school-based and behavioral health settings supporting youth, adults, and families through emotional, social, academic, and personal challenges. I value helping clients recognize their strengths, understand themselves differently, and develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you better understand yourself while developing skills you can use beyond therapy. We'll work on managing anxiety, reducing overthinking, improving communication, setting boundaries, strengthening relationships, building confidence, and making changes that support the life and relationships you want.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about what's happening, how it's affecting you, what you've tried, and what you'd like to change. I'll ask questions to understand the bigger picture, and together we'll identify goals and create a plan that feels right for you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
