We are often ruled by thoughts and patterns of conditioning that are largely outside of our awareness. While adaptive, this process can sometimes lead us astray. I aim to help you uncover unhealthy patterns of conditioning by cultivating awareness through mindful intention which will ultimately help guide you towards a more conscious and fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with individuals suffering from mood disorders, trauma-related disorders and substance abuse.

I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I strive to develop an honest, collaborative, and non-judgmental relationship with every client to facilitate openness and vulnerability. My goal is to guide and support clients in making meaningful, positive changes in their lives

Anaïs Nin wrote "we see the world not as it is, but as we are." Without self-reflection, we can all fall into old patterns and behaviors which no longer serve us. With self-reflection we can make sense of our worldview and become active agents of change and growth in our own lives. I have about 20 years of clinical experience practicing psychotherapy in a variety of settings.

As an engaged, non-judgmental listener, I bring warmth and compassion to each session with the intent to foster a collaborative relationship where clients can feel comfortable sharing about their challenges. I strongly believe that the insights gained in therapy can lead not only to symptom relief but a more enjoyable life and an empowered, positive sense of self. I consider the unique qualities and needs of each individual in order to provide the best care. I integrate mindfulness and CBT when appropriate, but much of my experience working with clients is deeper, exploring emotional patterns and beliefs developed in childhood.

Hello and welcome! Starting therapy can be an anxiety-provoking experience at first but one that can make a big difference in your life. In my practice I work to create a trusting, comfortable, and safe relationship based on unconditional positive regard. By using empathy, humor, and a client-centered approach, I strive to create a collaborative relationship with my clients. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach but you can expect to learn new skills, develop a strong and healthy relationship with yourself, and move toward the life you want to be living.

In our sessions, we can explore all of this and more in a supportive, safe, and authentic environment. It is an honor to meet you.

Constantly coping with trauma, stress, isolation, grief, or substance abuse can make you feel like you are living in "survival mode." Therapy can help you find your way back to the life you want to be living. If you've reached this page, that means you're considering making a change - to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, create new habits, or rediscover your passions. This work can only occur when you feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. That is why I prioritize collaborative, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care.

Asking for help takes courage when you find yourself overwhelmed and not sure what to do. I approach my work with compassion and understanding. I strive to create an environment for you that is free of judgement. I believe that the purpose of therapy is to learn more about ourselves by expressing ourselves openly and honestly without emphasis on what is "right" or "wrong." This can help us identify deep patterns that keep us stuck and create new ways of dealing with life's challenges and being in relationships.

My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors. Many of my clients tend to have had very painful formative or recent experiences of invalidation that have been difficult or confusing. https://www.christinayoungtherapy.com/

Adolescence can be a very challenging time for teens and their families. Although developmentally it is a particularly wonderful time of exploration and curiosity for teens, sometimes things do not go as expected. Individual adolescent therapy and sessions incorporating parents and /or families can make this time much easier to negotiate. I see primarily adolescents, and often incorporate parents and families into treatment planning. Presenting issues may range from anxiety and depression to substance abuse and eating disorders where I hold additional certifications and trainings. I also see adults with persisting eating issues.
