Known for a thoughtful, compassionate, and collaborative approach, she is committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard and empowered in their care.

Meet Brandi Young, LSW
Counselor
"My extensive experience in mental health comes from nearly 15 years in social work as well as my time in the USMC. My specialities are in suicide prevention and intervention, substance use disorder treatment, and ADHD mental health counseling.
I utilize a variety of modalities including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), and ACT (acceptance commitment therapy) while practicing holistic person-centered treatment that addresses one’s overall wellness.
Whether you simply need to process everyday life, develop healthy coping skills to better manage anxiety or depression, or need help building a sober support network; we can work together to affect positive change and improve your life!"
