Getting to know Michelle Young

Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As your therapist, my mission is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth, healing, and the tools to navigate life with confidence and resilience. I’m Michelle, and I am so glad you’re taking this brave step on your wellness journey. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes we encounter obstacles that leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even disconnected from who we are. These challenges might stem from past trauma, ongoing stress, or life transitions that feel too big to manage alone. My passion is walking alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their strengths, rediscover their self-worth, and build a path toward a more fulfilling and joyful life. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California State University, East Bay, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on this journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

During your session, we focus on the issues that are most relevant to your needs and experiences by utilizing interventions from different modalities rather than just one. Through this process, you will develop new skills which allow you to take control over your life and reduce the distress you have been experiencing.

In-network insurances

Michelle Young, LMFT has 150+ in-network plans.

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.

Michelle is very present and calm. She asks very good questions and listens with an openness that encourages me to talk.
