Hi, I’m Dr. Sydney Young. If you desire a mind-body approach and seek to feel grounded and safe in your authentic self, then please read on. Do you want to DO something about how you feel rather than just talk about it? Are you hypersensitive or overreactive? Do you overthink everything, or struggle to relax or sit in stillness? If you experience these things, you likely find it challenging to be fully in your body, and may feel a lack of safety in the body and nervous system. These challenges can pull you away from the life you want.

Although these challenges are often just part of being human, being neurodivergent (highly sensitive, ADHD, autistic, etc) means you are more prone to these challenges. Neurodivergent or not, there are evidence based tools I am passionate about sharing that really do help create a greater sense of safety and connection to the body and your authentic self.

Less distress in the body naturally helps settle the mind, so I incorporate bottom-up (sensory and body-based) approaches with my clients. Because your mind and body are in constant communication, you cannot fully care for one without the other. If you are looking for empathetic support and guidance in these approaches, please reach out.

Certificate from Pain Reprocessing Therapy Pain Reprocessing Therapy / 2022

I earned my M.D. from the University of Missouri, and I am licensed as a therapist (LPC). While medication and other medical interventions have their place, this is not what I offer. Instead, I work closely with clients to guide them back to a sense of agency and autonomy in their own healing.
