Getting to know Paul Young
Hi there, I'm Paul!
I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and those struggling with substance use. My specialties include mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, and psychotic spectrum disorders. I use CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic intervention, and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients make progress and feel better.
My focus
I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and those facing substance use challenges. Life experiences may present as mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, communication difficulties, relationship issues, and psychotic spectrum disorders.
My approach
My approach is tailored to your specific needs. I primarily use CBT, DBT-informed, Psychodynamic, and Motivational Interviewing modalities to help you gain insight and self-knowledge. These methods support emotional growth and improvement in thought patterns, mood, behavior, relationships, and communication skills.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, discerning, and empathic. I strive to help you feel safe, comfortable, understood, and trusting without experiencing criticism or judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
My decision to become a therapist grew from personal experience and relationships with others. I realized the most important part of therapy is our relationship as a therapeutic alliance, based on truth and honesty in self-knowledge. Helping clients live good, productive, positive lives is the most meaningful work I can do.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting focuses on defining what you want to accomplish in our work together. This includes building trust and clarifying your needs. Collaboratively, we develop how best to manifest positive change and devise ways to track your progress.
