Getting to know Wayne Young

Hi there, I'm Wayne! Welcome! My name is Wayne Young, LCSW-C. I earned my bachelor's in social work from McDaniel College in 2019 and my Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2020. I specialize in treating trauma, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, and family conflict. I am excited to begin working with you to help you become a healthier version of yourself! My approach Using cognitive behavioral therapy, I can aid clients by educating them on concepts related to thinking patterns and the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Clients can learn how to challenge negative thoughts, develop practical self-regulation skills, and modify undesirable behaviors. My focus If you are between the ages of 13 and 65, experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, or life cycle changes, and are ready to begin developing a healthier you-even if you are afraid or nervous-as long as you are willing to show up, we will make progress and succeed toward your goals! My communication style My strength as your clinician lies in my ability to use empathy and evidence-based practices to help you achieve your goals! I believe that human connection and relationship are the cornerstone of our work together. My goals for you I use evidence-based practices and assessment tools (both qualitative and quantitative) to evaluate progress toward goals. In your intake/first session, we will walk through the specific goal you would like to achieve. My first session with you You can expect to be welcomed into a warm and judgment-free environment. In your initial session, we will go over the following: 1) What's encouraging you to come to therapy? 2) A brief history of your symptoms and other pertinent information 3) What has worked in the past? Have you ever been to therapy before? 4) What are your short-term and long-term goals for therapy? These are just a few topics to think about prior to your session.
