Getting to know Bruce Young
Hi and thank you for your consideration.
?? Introduction
Relationships with professors, who saw potential in me, led to my first becoming a therapist as an undergraduate student majoring in Community Service at University of Oregon. After receiving a master's degree in social work, the majority of my career was working 23 years for the National Center for PTSD. I had the extraordinary experience of creating my own job description as a Health Scientist in the emerging field of Disaster Mental Health. Over the course of these years, I responded to a dozen Presidentially declared catastrophic events. Additionally, I created a protocol integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and meditation endorsed by the leading 20th century cognitive therapy psychologist Michael Mahoney, PhD, who assisted the work being published in an international clinical journal.

• In 2022, I began offering telemental health therapy and have been enjoying the work and the progress with my clients.
• Former Health Science Specialist and Editor-in Chief of clinical journal at National Center for PTSD.

Primary author of "Disaster Mental Health Services: A Guidebook for Clinicians & Administrators". One of the most referenced manuals in disaster mental health.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card
on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be
provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks
after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the
claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your
responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for
services. For
out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s
self-pay rate,
and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for
potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
