Getting to know Cynthia Young

I like to take a comprehensive, collaborative approach to treatment and focus on building a professional and positive relationship rather than simply treating a diagnosis. To me, it is important to build a genuine relationship based on trust, openness, and honesty that emphasizes meeting the client where they’re at. I believe the client is an expert in their own life, and my role is to help them become a healthier, happier version of themselves. As a clinician with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, I utilize an integrative approach including Person-Centered techniques, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Gestalt, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My clinical experience includes working with clients who have suffered from trauma and abuse—generational, sexual, physical, and emotional—as well as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Personality Disorders. I have worked with children in the foster care system as well as adults within a community mental health setting. My experience has taught me the importance of culture, gender, spirituality, and, more importantly, to focus on the person as a whole.

She listens and offers ideas; she does not push me if a topic triggers me, and helps me understand why I feel certain ways.
