About Lisa Young

Lisa Young brings 15 years of clinical experience to people facing difficult life moments, offering steady compassion, curiosity, and practical support. She approaches care from a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy perspective and blends therapeutic intervention, education, and coaching to meet each person where they are. Clients usually describe her as genuine, caring, and relatable, and she aims to help make life not only more bearable but also more meaningful.

As a licensed clinician, Lisa holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - credential, which reflects specialized training and professional licensure in social work and clinical practice. Her work emphasizes seeing each person as a whole, acknowledging changing needs over time, and remaining flexible in adapting approach and tools as those needs shift.

Lisa has particular interest in supporting people with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as those who are generally managing but would benefit from someone to brainstorm with, set goals alongside, and provide accountability. Her practice is informed by a trauma-aware stance and a commitment to practical strategies that support growth and coping.

Outside of her professional role, Lisa identifies as a liberal and feminist woman, lives with her wife and two young children, and is a late-diagnosis ADHDer herself. She balances family life with a small farm and a wide range of creative interests. Lisa is motivated to support others in their personal growth and to offer steady, empathetic guidance through life’s transitions.
