About me

My name is Gwendolyn Young, I began my career as a teacher in Special Education. I taught school for 22 years until I felt the need to reinvent myself. I became a professional mental health counselor and substance abuse counselor during the year 2016, With my experiences I am fortunate to have seen the life of a child from two very different perspectives. The classroom and in therapy. I often ask myself, what is going on with our children? They have so many needs that must be addressed. My approach when working with children and adolescents is to first establish rapport and trust. I work from a person centered approach where the person feels in control and not being judged or chastised for their actions. I have had many successes with my young population because I am able to meet them where they are. I asked them to teach me their language whether it be playing a favorite song and expressing what type of impact that song has on their life. I am able to listen and identify the pain. Asking the person, how can I help you through this? What is it that you would like to change in your life? What is it that you want? My focus in counseling with this population is basically using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, using other approaches when necessary. I am a licensed professional counselor and addiction specialist. I have earned a master's degree in professional counseling, a master's degree in addiction counseling and a post-master's in addiction specialization

Ever since starting my therapeutic journey, Gwendolyn has been guiding me through this positive path in life; therefore, it can only get better from here on out. Still dealing with life and certain people in my life who are not a benefit to my well-being, Gwendolyn is and will continue to help me block them out of my life, and to keep very little contact with them.
Gwendolyn and I will continue to focus on my healing through this difficult time in my life. Thank you Gwendolyn.

I feel like I have accomplished a lot in life and still have a lot left to accomplish. Ive had a decent support system and never felt under-recognized. However, my sessions with Gwen, she would stop and tell me how proud of me she was and state how large an accomplishment was and I didnt know how much that meant to me until she said it and I broke down in tears. I still dont quite understand why it made me so emotional but, Im sure she does. It made me more open to her guidance and to trust the process because she clearly saw something that Ive been missing.

It's been a long time since I've felt that I have it in me to step outside of my isolation and make effort to find an activity group to join that shares similar interest. Gwen has really helped me to find my words and express the strength and possibilities that already lies within me. She really can relate to me and she makes it safe to open up. She does not let me stay in that stuck place. Grateful for Gwen, thank you so much!
