Lisa Young, LCSW

Lisa Young is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate some of life’s toughest moments and find greater meaning in everyday living. She brings compassion, curiosity, and a pragmatic approach to therapy, combining trauma-informed cognitive behavioral techniques with targeted education and coaching to meet each person’s changing needs. Her practice emphasizes flexible, individualized care that addresses symptoms like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and post-traumatic stress while also supporting people with ADHD, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.

Patients often find her genuine, caring, and relatable, and she works collaboratively to set goals, develop practical coping strategies, and provide accountability when desired. Lisa particularly enjoys supporting clients who are managing attention differences, navigating mood and anxiety concerns, or simply seeking a trusted person to help clarify priorities and follow through on plans. Her trauma-informed lens guides the work when past harm contributes to current difficulties, and she adapts interventions to fit the person rather than forcing a single method.

Outside of her clinical role, Lisa identifies as a liberal feminist, lives with her wife and two young children, and speaks from personal experience as a late-diagnosis ADHDer. She also balances family life with a tiny farm and many creative interests, all of which inform a down-to-earth, empathetic therapeutic style.
