Great to meet you!

I’m Anjanette Young, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, helping them build emotional resilience, process grief, and move through trauma in a safe and compassionate space.

As a Christian counselor, I also offer faith-based guidance for clients who want to integrate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process. Whether you're seeking a clinical approach, a spiritual one, or a combination of both—we’ll work together to create a path forward that honors your unique story.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is warm, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), while also incorporating spiritual support when requested.

What you can expect from me

You don’t have to walk through pain alone. Whether you're navigating adolescence, coping with deep loss, or carrying the weight of trauma, I'm here to help you find healing and hope.
