Jacob Young

Jacob Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports teens and adults facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity questions, and major life transitions. He takes a collaborative, grounded approach and believes progress is most sustainable when people feel sincerely understood rather than pushed, managed, or hurried.

His work is shaped by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential therapy. In practical terms, this often means shifting attention away from trying to "fix" a person and toward making sense of what they are carrying, clarifying what matters most to them, and choosing next steps that better reflect their values. He approaches suffering with care and thoughtfulness, aiming to make room for both honesty and compassion without judgment.

Jacob often works well with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, including those who have tried therapy before and found it was not the right fit. He also has experience supporting clients navigating chronic stress, relationship challenges, substance use recovery, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences.

In sessions, Jacob strives to be engaged, transparent, and respectful of each client’s pace. He does not rely on a one-size-fits-all model and focuses on creating a space where clients can speak openly, feel safe being themselves, and work toward change that feels realistic and livable.
