Maeve Young

Welcome! My name is Maeve and the goal of my therapy practice is to help you achieve a better quality of life. As a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW & LCSW) in both Kansas and Missouri, I specialize in helping adults with issues including but not limited to high functioning anxiety, childhood/family trauma, and relationship struggles. If you look successful on the outside, but grapple with crippling self-doubt and a chaotic private life, I may be the therapist for you.

My approach is non-judgmental, compassionate, and moves at your pace. While always customized to you, I often utilize evidence based techniques such as CBT/DBT that help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, and learn practical skills you can use to regulate tough emotions. I demistify how the brain creates emotional experiences and stuck trauma responses, and encourage you to practice new and more healthy ways of relating to yourself and others. You are the expert in your own experience, but I will be your guide and we will work together to help you regain control of your happiness.

The first session will entail learning about why you came to therapy and determining your initial goals for the work. Some assessment and past history will be collected, as relevant to these goals, but the ultimate aim is that you experience an atomsphere of safety and respect as you begin this important journey.
