Welcome to BetterHelp. I’ve offered a cup of water before asking the necessary scripted questions in hospital settings, rehab centers, and in private practice. We are hard-pressed to ask why… As a psychodynamic-minded counselor with 15 years who thinks of therapy as a medicalized philosophy. It is still shocking to me that we have forgotten how to be in a culture where people are willing to adjust and work through their assumptions to deal with and face the harsh realities of daily life and are being talked at instead of talked with. On BetterHelp, I equip mainly men wrestling with how to be in relationships, entrepreneurs, active military members, veterans, law enforcement, and firefighters by showing them how to notice emotions and be a resource for paying attention to the body’s natural alarm system attached to their perception. While it is true that labels like ADHD, PTSD, and CPTSD can help equip a person to be who they are effectively, they often don’t help due to people drowning in too much information. I have the unbelievable privilege of translating loaded terms into a language that resonates with the values, concerns, and goals of the person in front of me. If you’ve endured injustice in the past and are enduring despite difficulties in the present, I provide reliable tools as we address your concerns together around relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance addiction, and sexual addiction. I look forward to encouraging and equipping you; I would be honored to help no matter what has happened, what is going on, or what concerns you want to discuss and work through in the space between us. Warmly, Bryan Young, LPC
