My style is relational, sincere, light hearted, engaged, fun (it’s important to remember therapy can be fun too!) mindful, experiential, narrative, existential- humanistic and psychodynamic based, using a wide range of tools curated to best suit my clients needs.
This life is our greatest adventure! I believe each person has the knowledge and ability to heal themselves but often are in need of a safe container for self exploration. My goal is to hold a safe collaborative space where my clients decide how, where and how deep we go. My desire is to reflect and foster a place for my clients to explore the challenges, sorrows, joys and hidden desires, and exciting lessons life has to offer. Bearing witness to another person's process is an honor.

I offer Psychotherapy for adults. Common issues include: depression, anxiety, life crises, post-traumatic stress; life transitions, including midlife, the elder years, and aging; emotional growth, self-esteem; grief, grieving, and loss; coping with illness; relationship tune-ups, including communication. I value your thinking, which we will include as we solve your problems. I also focus on your strengths. They often hold a part of the solution. In addition, we may choose to do EMDR therapy. EMDR is a kind of psychotherapy that addresses not only trauma but also difficult life experiences or problems-in-living.

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://insightgrouptherapy.com/christina-young-polony

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
