Equipping you for life's next chapter.

Providing Support and Resources for Navigating Your Therapeutic Journey

Rachel Buddin-Young, LPC, LMHC

Stop living life just to get by

Sometimes we take life one day at a time, because it is so overwhelming to think of it any other way. Then we start living life just to get by instead of thriving.

If you are motivated to move beyond just surviving. If you are ready to face what is holding you back or to step into your future with purpose, then you have found the right place.

Theoretical Orientation
Before choosing any type of therapy, understanding the needs of the client and their personal goals is priority. As an EMDR therapist EMDR is the main therapy used, however cognitive behavioral, psychoeducation, solution focused and Exposure Response Prevention are also incorporated as needed.

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy

Facing obstacles in our life can make us feel as though we just want to give up. Relationships, personal goals, happiness and life satisfaction can sometimes feel so far out of reach and impossible that it leads to feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and frustration. But there is hope! Hope for your personal goals, hope for your relationships and hope for a life of joy.
