Therapists in Palmer, TX

Welcome to BetterHelp. When working in a hospital I started by offering a cup of water before the intake. In private pratice I do the same thing. As a psychodynamic counselor I recognize that cousnleing works because of a lack of self compassion know how and hospitality. On BetterHelp, I get to equip people to navigate their relationships with themselves toward accurate self-knowledge, whether addressing ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, or unasked-for challenges. I strive to provide a dynamic dialogue that not only equips but is shaped by empowers you to process intense emotions and move forward on your terms. I look forward to working with you and for you. Warmly, Bryan Young,

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and with over 20 years of professional counseling experience in outpatient, inpatient, community mental health and private practice settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns. I have worked with clients in many different stages of life as well. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to have the freedom to explore and process your life situation(s) which may be contributing to uncomfortable feelings and behaviors. My desire is to see you overcome obstacles in your life so that you can move forward and improve the quality of life you desire and deserve. It is my desire to listen, understand, and be helpful to you to the fullest extent of my professional ability. Although I use an integrated approach to counseling that includes various theories and techniques tailored to your specific needs; my overall approaches are based on Client Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapies. My goal is to shape the counseling experience that is unique to you and that meets your needs of healing and change and to collaboratively find solutions to your difficulties. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to share your “best hopes” and to work towards, what I like to refer to as a “preferred future”. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with you! Please note that before our first meeting, there is an intake process which I can help walk you through.
