Great to meet you!

Hey there! I'm Janee Young, a quirky and compassionate therapist, and I'm all about helping you rock your confidence and find that inner clarity you've been seeking. My journey started by supporting at-risk girls as a camp coordinator – seeing their need for someone who listens, uplifts, and helps them move beyond trauma led me to pursue a Master's degree in Counseling. After which I ventured into various child and family mental health agencies, each with rigid and conventional therapy frameworks. Recognizing the yearning for a more personalized approach, I eventually found my calling in the private practice sector.

With me, therapy is a journey to inner peace and a resilient self. I'm all about positive vibes, and I truly believe that building a strong, respectful relationship with you is the key. Together, we'll knock down mental barriers, embrace mindfulness, and find the happiness and peace you deserve.

My expansive knowledge encompasses Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, family discord, and Suicidal Ideation, with a specialized focus on children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered and strength-based. I assist individuals in dismantling mental barriers that hinder their pursuit of happiness and peace.

What you can expect from me

My toolkit includes a diverse range of therapy methods, and I particularly value the integration of mindfulness to enhance coping strategies. I'm certified in evidence-based practices like Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety, and DBT. I have over 10 years of experience in mental health and a Bachelor's in Sociology (Social Welfare emphasis) and a Master's in Counseling (Marriage and Family Therapy emphasis).
