Bruce Young

Thank you for taking time to read about my background. I have been providing mental health service almost my entire adult life. I received a clinical license in 1990. Thirty plus publications related to mental health services including many related to micro and macro disaster mental health services let to recognition as an international expert. Provided mental health services in Ukraine to veterans and civilians. Taught at Ukrainian universities and trained Ukrainian mental health professionals including providing pro bono remote clinical supervision for six years. I began offering telemental health services in California beginning in 2023.

I help clients leverage their strengths to help achieve their goals using tools (problem identification, stress management, skills building, reflection, and an integrative model I developed to create neuro-reprogramming. The model was endorsed by a peer-reviewed clinical journal. I also firmly believe that a therapist's capacity for warmth, empathy, and genuineness strongly shape therapeutic outcomes.

Typically, the first session begins with creating a safe environment for you to express your concerns and thoughts about pursuing therapy. In response, I describe how I might help you, or if appropriate, how another therapist with different skills would be a better fit.
