Stephen Young, PhD, LCSW

Are you feeling "stuck"? Anxiety and depression can be challenging but it doesn’t have to stop you from living the life you want. We all experience difficult feelings such as sadness, disappointment, guilt, anxiety, and fear. If these feelings get in the way of you living the life you want then it is probably time to seek help. You deserve to live a life that is fulfilling despite the obstacles you face. I am here to help. While working together we will identify how exactly anxiety is getting in your way and explore creative ways in which to overcome it. I’m Dr. Stephen M. Young (he/him), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia and Indiana, working in the mental health field since 2008. As an integrative psychotherapist, I blend a variety of clinical techniques and strategies to address the unwanted impacts of chronic anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and difficulty trusting yourself. As a gay therapist I am passionate about serving the LGBTQ+ community. I value creating a safe and accepting space for our work together. I welcome clients of all races, ethnicities, cultures, identities, and faiths. If you feel that we may be a good fit, I would love to connect for a consultation to see how we could work together. Therapy works best when we focus on 1-3 specific areas that are impacting your life the most. While psychotherapy is traditionally open-ended, most clients work with me weekly for 5-8 months. Our work together concludes when you feel you’ve achieved your treatment goals and have mastered new coping skills to help you when previous triggers emerge.
