I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas with 17 years experience. I've worked with a broad range of clientele but specialized in Bible-based counseling of women. I have helped young women who are just getting started living independently, women who's children have their own families, and all ages and life-stages in between. As women, we have unique challenges. I would like to help you with yours. I have experience helping with anxiety, depression, loss, confusion, different types of trauma, and relationship issues. Just let me know what's on your mind or heart and we can get started. I use the cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy which just means that we will look at how your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions are influencing you and what you can do to help yourself. I like to help my clients to feel comfortable, encouraged, and empowered. Things can get incredibly hard sometimes, so hard that you want to hide or just give up trying. I want to help you to know that, no matter what it is, you can overcome. Are you ready for us to get started?Just go to my website to get started. Sessions can take place by live chat, video, or in person. https://JenniferYoungLPC.secure-client-area.comI look forward to working with you.Sincerely, Jennifer
