Living with anxiety, PTSD, or the effects of trauma can feel exhausting and overwhelming. You may find yourself constantly worrying, struggling in relationships, replaying past experiences, or feeling stuck despite your best efforts to move forward. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. My name is Tamara Young, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving individuals in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and meaningful.
With a background in trauma-focused mental health care and specialized training in EMDR, I draw from a range of therapeutic tools to help you process and manage traumatic memories, anxiety, and distressing emotions. I incorporate trauma-informed practices such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), helping you build on your existing resilience.
I understand how difficult it can be to break free from the grip of these experiences, but I want you to know that healing is possible. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and respect for where you are in your journey.
Take the first step to help. Tamara Young now
