Welcome to BetterHelp. I am a licensed professional counselor who has been equipping people with a psychodynamic approach to counseling. If I could sloganize my own approach, it would be: If you are willing to own it in session, you can change it. On BetterHelp, I serve active military members, first responders, and men often with ADHD, striving to improve relationships with themselves and others. The same heroic impulse that often helps them run into danger often causes them to hold back that impulse, causing them to feel disengaged in daily life, causing relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, CPTSD, and PTSD. At a veterans’ hospital, I grasped that offering a cup of water worked far more effectively than giving formal intake. I was trained in philosophy before becoming a counselor; I like to think that I live by two simple moral axioms in the counselling room: We attack ideas, not people, and we are only as educated as we can be kind, transparent, and honest with ourselves and others. In private practice, I specialize in those wrestling with borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality, sexual addiction, substance abuse, and ADHD. I also provide solution-focused counseling for those seeking something more profound than life coaching, usually due to undiagnosed ADHD. I view my role as a therapist as a practice of hospitality. I transform the information in the session into helpful information that equips you for your journey forward. It is an honor and privilege to meet with people, and possibly you, and respect the path that led you here by recognizing your effort and meeting your concerns with rational empathy and respect. Let’s begin this journey together when you’re ready to take the next step. Warmly, Bryan Young, LPC
