Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in First Hill, Seattle, WA

Hi there! My name is Tyah Young (she/her) and I am a licensed mental health counselor associate. I am a queer identified, anti-racist, therapist of color who is committed to increasing access to mental health therapy particularly for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am passionate about working alongside individuals in the therapeutic process and empowering them to take steps towards healing. I consider every individual to be the expert of their story, and I endeavor to partner with my clients to get an understanding of their needs within the context of their lived experience. I hope to help you feel seen, heard, and validated.

I have experience working with adults of all ages carrying a wide range of diagnoses. I work with individuals as well as couples. My specialties are working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and life transitions of all kinds. I am dedicated to tailoring a treatment plan specific to the needs of the individual or couple. I am also flexible and understanding of changes that may come up during our work, and always willing to change up our plan to reflect this. We work collaboratively on these goals while utilizing open and clear communication about our progress.

I strive to always bring my own sense of authenticity to every session as I believe that therapy at its core is successful due to the relationship between clinician and client. As your therapist I will promise to be consistently present, challenge you gently but firmly when you need me to, and to empathetically and truly care about what you have to say. I have fourteen years of experience in the mental health field addressing issues ranging from depression and anxiety to substance use to feelings around gender and sexuality. I work with individuals and families but also have a strong passion in working with couples and relationships

Are you struggling with anxiety, OCD, mood or relationship issues? Going through a major life transition like changing careers, divorce, or other loss? Do you have disturbing thoughts or compulsions related to OCD or other fears ? Have you lost a loved one ? Hope and change are possible regardless of your struggle. Therapy can provide you with the means to face life's hardest challenges.

As a therapist, I believe first and foremost in the healing and growth that can happen in relationship. My therapeutic approach is about meeting people where they are, and engaging each individual in a healing dialogue that is appropriate and specific to his or her life. I am a process oriented therapist. This means that I am primarily interested in understanding the process through which my clients respond to the world and how they make meaning out of their experiences. My goal is to facilitate increased awareness in my clients and improve agency, choice, and connection in their lives.

I work with children, teens, and young adults struggling with body image, eating disorders, self acceptance, building and maintaining strong, meaningful connections, and creating a life worth living. I offer skill building, as well as process oriented sessions. Together we will learn more about the underlying factors contributing to the struggles that you are facing. I will work at a pace that feels comfortable and safe, and also push you to explore parts of yourself that you may be avoiding.

Have you diligently worked to create a life that thrives, but still feel stuck by childhood or continuing harm? Is your past contributing to anxiety or depression in your current life? Often the coping strategies we form in childhood survive past their "effectiveness date," creating an invisible force that holds us back from thriving. In session, we will create a space for you to explore past, present, and hopes for the future. We will hold both harm and healing, as we create a framework for developing skills and a making adjustments that bring a freedom to thrive. Together we will forge a path that accounts for the beauty and harm.

I offer therapeutic sessions for individuals, couples, youth, and families. I help facilitate a process where people can develop insight and understanding of what may be holding them back from wellness, joy, and personal growth. Sometimes this may involve family patterns, behaviors that are not in line with one's values, or relationships that are no longer serving you. My job is to create safety for people to share their authentic selves, honoring strengths and navigating challenges together. My intention is to honor your gifts and to expand new ways of thinking or approaching situations to better meet your goals.
