Bryan Young (LPC)

Welcome to Better Help! In person, I tend to offer a cup of water when we feel we can’t gain or start to feel genuine concern from another person, we start to lose our emotional balance and resilience as we start to notice the absence of our feelings or the presence of unhelpful reactions. I see the therapist’s role as applying the principles of practical hospitality, talking with a person rather than at them. I use a psychodynamic lens and understanding of relationships, along with acknowledging that when we turn inward we are capable of reflecting on the past, the present, and adjusting for the future. On Better Help, I specialize in equipping men to address their mental, emotional, and relational health. In private practice, I provide hospitality that equips first responders and members of the military who are wrestling with PTSD and CPTSD. I get to come alongside people suffering from depression and anxiety as well as equipping them to adjust to difficult circumstances. I also work with people suffering the internal ups and downs of bipolar depression along with those who turn inward with concerns about their personality when making decisions. In hospital settings, I worked on a team that treated people with personality disorders. I also had the privilege to lead groups for men who wrestle with substance abuse and sexual addictions. As a counselor who happens to have ADHD and dyslexia, I see my role as being impacted by others in order to provide effective hospitality with another person’s goals and values in mind. We all have watched a clock and thought, I value people over the “clock for a living.” When you’re ready, I’d be honored to offer tools and be an effective person for you to equip yourself, to steady your steps, weigh your options, explore your values, and face what’s next on solid emotional ground. Move forward; you are stronger than you feel, but you are choosing to pause and acknowledge your feelings and thoughts to understand yourself effectively and accurately. I look forward to working with you and for you. Warmly, Bryan Young, LPC
