I am a License Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience in counseling all age ranges. I believe in compassionate, ethical, and evidence-based treatment. I work primarily with mood disorders, women's issues, relationship struggles, eating disorders, and trauma. I'm LGBTQ+ friendly. My belief is that no matter what stage of life you are in, counseling is a journey to a better quality of life.

Life is not always kind. It is difficult to balance all of the demands of life while also taking care of ourselves. It can be made particularly difficult when these challenges seem to require more than we have to give. I believe that we all have the courage and strength necessary to overcome these obstacles, but that we all need help sometimes recognizing our abilities and learning the skills we need. I am a licensed clinical psychologist (AR 19-02D) specializing in diagnostic assessment and evidence based interventions. I invite you to learn more about me and my work at evidencebasedlr.com

As a psychologist, I work with people with real-life concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, LGBTQ+ issues, and trauma. Within these areas, I have a particular focus on helping women, people of color, and LGBTQ populations. With over eight years of experience, I work on developing insight, improving self-esteem, and building resiliency practices that you can implement into your daily life.

I work well with older teens, women and couples. I am experienced with mood disorders such as anxiety, depression and bipolar. I am trained in EMDR and TFCBT for treatment of trauma, and currently am training in the specialty of Perinatal Mood Disorders.

An ideal client would be someone who is experiencing challenges with self..It could be relating to personal growth and development or addressing poor self esteem. They want to discover themselves, develop coping skills and become a more functional version of themselves.

“And how do you feel about that!?” ---Says every TV comedy-bit depicting therapy. In reality, it can be intimidating to share our true feelings with another person- especially with a (virtual) stranger. In therapy sessions, I therefore create a warm, safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, space to unpack your story. I view you as an expert on yourself and will encourage you to honor your own inner wisdom. I value processing your unique context and how intersectional identities and structures of oppression contribute to your distress.  My goal is to illuminate the root causes of your pain and to help guide you towards healing and growth.

Life and relationships are hard. We often try to manage it on our own, but sometimes it becomes too much to bear. Our thoughts become distorted and we enter into unhealthy cycles of behavior trying to survive. Making the decision to seek psychotherapy requires one to be both brave and vulnerable at the same time. Reaching out for help takes guts and I am always honored to be a part of someone's journey. You remain in control while I walk along side you as a trained listener who helps you to make sense of your experience and encourages you to make desired changes along the way. Don't remain stuck, keep moving forward.

Mandy Young, LCSW is a mental health therapist with experience in trauma intervention, inpatient and outpatient hospitalization care through veteran and civilian fields, end of life care, postpartum, depression, anxiety, bereavement and grief support. With care and compassion, Mandy is willing to work with teens and adults to find their healthiest self and fulfillment in life.

Hurts happen & we find ways to survive, but you are meant to experience so much more than survival. As an attachment-focused & somatic-informed therapist, I work with clients to help them feel safe in their bodies, embrace connection, & develop self-compassion. Change happens by empowering you to identify needs, find security in relationships with good communication, and cultivate ownership of your experience. Your mind, body, and spirit want to be and can be well. Allow me to walk with you through the darkness to get there.

Sometimes, life can be confusing, difficult, and painful - if this has been your experience, I'm glad you're here! I'm passionate about helping adults navigate difficult emotions, relationships, and life circumstances. My goal as your therapist is to help you gain clarity, cultivate peace, and develop the skills you need to maneuver life's difficulties and make healthier choices.

In counseling, my focus is to meet clients where they are, help them determine where they want to be, and enable them to accomplish their goals. Change is possible! It takes work, but it is worth it to become the person you want to be. I have seen clients rise above unbelievable challenges and accomplish their goals. I have also walked along side those who are grieving or hurting to see them blossom out of the depths of their experiences. In addition, I am trained in EMDR therapy to treat trauma.

Walking into wellness begins with a single step! Don't stay stuck! Let's take the step together! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialization in technology assisted counseling. I earned a Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Arkansas Little Rock and Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Arkansas State University. I provided counseling in a variety of mental health settings including outpatient counseling centers, psychiatric hospitals, and the United States Navy. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, children, couples, families, active duty military, retired military, and veterans.

New to adulthood? Getting off track? Losing your morals? Outgrowing your circle? Expecting mommy? New to parenthood? Balancing work & parenthood ? Want to discover your dreams/gifts? Working towards accomplishing your dreams? New to your career? Struggling as a professional? This list could go on. Becoming the best version of yourself is something we all want, but the who, what, when, where and how we get there may seem harder to achieve. I'm curious to know what's in your “tool bag," we all come in to life with one. However, our exposure and experiences determine the make up of our bag and we use those tools.

Therapy offers a chance to learn new ways to cope with emotionally charged life challenges & process the things in life that keep us stuck. In our sessions, I'll help you identify & challenge self-defeating patterns that leave you stuck, unsatisfied, & less than your best. We'll develop a plan based on your needs & what you want out of therapy. I offer a supportive, nonjudgemental space for you to reflect, process, & grow. My approach is strength based, interactive, & collaborative, & I believe that authenticity, respect, & a sense of humor all contribute to a strong therapeutic relationship.

Life, unfortunately, doesn't come with a handbook! Everyone can use a little help now and then navigating through the rough patches. As your counselor, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment to help you develop a strong sense of self and meaningful relationships. I specialize in working with people struggling with sexual issues, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma impacting your life today. Additionally, I assist individuals and couples through the battles and transitions they may face in different stages of their lives.

I enjoy working with people in all stages of life. I especially appreciate working with teenagers and young adults trying to manage during difficult and trying times. I use a Client-Centered and collaborative approach to meet the needs of my clients by helping them brainstorm and use problem solving skills to set realistic goals in treatment. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based Perspective to aid in redirecting damaging thought processes that hinder progress. I am fun-loving, understanding, compassionate, encouraging, and non-judging and I believe that it CAN and WILL get better!
