Getting to know Dr. Sharon L Young
Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Pennsylvania with over twenty years of experience practicing psychotherapy. I earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Georgia State University. I have worked with clients of various ages—from children to older adults—in a variety of settings, including outpatient community mental health and health centers, outpatient private practices, inpatient units of private and public hospitals, a state psychiatric hospital, and a university counseling center. I have supported clients experiencing a wide range of psychological challenges, such as mood disorders (depression and bipolar), anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder), psychotic disorders, attentional difficulties, impulse control and behavioral problems, substance use and misuse issues, and problems related to significant stress and trauma (acute, post-, and complex post-traumatic stress disorders). Additionally, I have assisted clients in addressing specific behaviors, including persistent suicidal ideation or acts of self-harm. I also help people navigate life challenges such as grief, shame, adjustment difficulties, stress related to employment, education, or relationships, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, problems related to identity, and experiences of imposter phenomenon.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As your therapist, I will work hard to be present, listen attentively, and understand your experience from your perspective. I view clients as experts of their experience and work collaboratively with them on goals we've established for making psychological changes to improve their lives. You're brave in seeking therapy to explore and make constructive changes to improve your life. I feel honored and inspired to assist you in this endeavor!

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.
