I am a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. I received a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University in Family Studies and Gerontology and a Masters of Human Relations with the emphasis of Licensed Professional Counseling from The University of Oklahoma. I have experience with adults, families, and groups. I have worked with those struggling with mild to severe mental illness as well as those individuals who are struggling with issues including depression, grief & loss, abuse/neglect, addictions with dual diagnosis, behavioral problems, bipolar, and parenting problems. I adapt my counseling style to each individual. However, within my experience, I have noticed that clients are more adaptable to me utilizing a counseling style of a client-focused approach. I believe that it is important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey of life and work from that point. I am a very transparent-honest-caring individual in my day to day life and I bring that trait to each session with the belief that in doing so, the client feels more at ease with being honest as issues and challenges are being processed. I believe everyone deserves respect and compassion as well as the opportunity to have added support when needed. My approach/style combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered….just to name a few. A client’s treatment plan and the direction of the sessions will be tailored to meet the individual needs. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come".

I have been providing counseling for about 25 years. I worked my first 10 years with the elderly population. For the past 15 years I have worked with all age ranges in a variety of areas. I meet my clients where they are, using Client Centered focus, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (cause & effect) of behaviors. I also use EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) to assist with trauma. My clients are a critical part of my treatment plan development as my desire is to assist in their success - effectively working myself out of their lives. They learn the coping skills rather than dependence on a person to go from one crisis to the next.

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 4 years of professional work experience. Before going back to school, I spent 17 years in an agency assisting individuals to meet their education and employment goals. Many of these individuals were experiencing a variety of challenges getting to work or maintaining a job due to past trauma, anxiety, depression, etc. At that time, I did not have the education, training or experience to assist individuals with these challenges. Five years ago, I started on a journey to obtain a Master’s degree as a licensed therapist. I focused my training toward trauma informed care as well as person centered care. My form of therapy consists of guidance and direction in the areas of life where excessive negative thinking patterns affect an individual’s self-actualization. Past trauma experiences often manifest in difficult relationships today. Anxiety and depression can make anyone’s life difficult. I employ various therapy techniques such as CBT, DBT, grief models, and EMDR, to name a few. I assist clients in their search for the most effective technique to improve their quality of life. My experience includes assisting clients who have or are experiencing trauma, abuse, stress, depression, relationship issues, and/or anxiety. I assist clients coping with grief, loss, motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and honest dialogue where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear, judgment or criticism. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Are you feeling lost or misguided on your journey through life? I can help you figure out your next steps, and navigate any challenges that seem to get in the way. My name is Sarah Young, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma. I will walk with you, get to know you on the way, and help you learn and grow from your experiences as we go. I have worked with adults of all ages and abilities, who are coping with a wide variety of challenges. I find it especially rewarding to help people work through depression, anxiety, stress, and self-concept issues stemming from life transitions such as school and work changes, divorce and separation, loss/grieving, retirement, and health crises. I also enjoy working with and empowering survivors of abuse and trauma. I strive to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach to therapy draws from an eclectic mix of theoretical foundations, including Humanistic/Client-Centered Therapy (CCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Family Systems. This mix allows me maximum flexibility in adapting to individual client needs, abilities, cultural backgrounds, and communication styles. The first session typically consists of getting to know each other, and becoming comfortable working with each other; as well as an initial sketch of the issue(s) that led you to seek therapy. I will often ask questions when I want to understand something better. It takes courage to seek help in making positive changes in your own life, and you have taken that important first step. I would be honored to join you on your personal journey, whether it is toward change or simply enlightenment, and I can't wait to meet you!
