Accepting new clients via telehealth with flexible scheduling, please reach out for free 15-minute consultation. Hi, I am Misty Young, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping children, teens, young adults and adults navigate life challenges with confidence and clarity. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect. I believe that healing happens in a safe, supportive relationship and that every person has the capacity to grow, adjust and thrive when given the rights tools and space.
My professional background is unique: I've worked in both in private practice and in the field of child welfare, which has given me deep insight into family systems, stress, trauma and the ways people learn to cope. This range of experience allows me to meet clients where thy are and offer tailored support that feels both practical and empowering.
I'm passionate about helping people move from overwhelm to clarity, from stress to balance, and from self doubt to confidence. Whether you're navigating anxiety, working through depression, adjusting to life changes, or seeking healthier relationships, my goal is to help you build skills, strengthen resilience and feel more grounded in daily life.
