Clinical Therapist and Yoga Teacher
Angie Young
LCSW, EMDR, RYT200
Therapy for ages 18+
I’m a trauma therapist, EMDR provider, and trained yoga teacher who believes healing is possible through connection with your body, emotions, and thoughts. I approach each client with empathy and openness, creating a safe space to explore your experiences and uncover your authentic voice.
My clinical journey includes supporting individuals with complex trauma and sexual abuse, grief counseling, and chronic illness care, including work with the Peace Corps in Uganda. In recent years, I’ve focused on attachment wounds, abandonment, and shame in both private practice and substance use treatment settings. Together, we use somatic interventions, yoga, EMDR, inner child work, and emotionally focused approaches to reclaim the chapters of your life where difficult experiences may have disrupted your sense of self.
I aim to cultivate a therapeutic environment of bravery, acceptance, and growth. I integrate sex-positive counseling, am an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community, and explore how your experiences, relationships, and culture have shaped your life.
A little about me:
Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading fantasy or sci-fi books (or rewatching Bones for the hundredth time), gardening, practicing tai chi, and using tarot cards to deepen self-reflection. I also have a soft spot for filling my many blank journals — slowly but surely!

“ I believe healing is possible through connection with your body, emotions, and thoughts. I want to gently bring the body into therapy and I seek to be a companion in the process of sifting through your lived experience to discover your authentic voice.”
