Shah’Tavia Young, LMSW

Psychotherapist

(She/Her/Hers)

* I am currently accepting new clients *Hi! My name is Shah’Tavia Young and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I have been working in the mental health field since 2015 and have provided individual counseling, as well group therapy and facilitated workshops.

I utilize a client centered and solution oriented therapeutic approach with clients. I also specialize in treating complex PTSD, a fairly new space representing a series of traumatic events over a prolonged period. I work with millennials, LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, family/relationship dynamics, and everyday life stressors.

My therapeutic style is rooted in believing that we all have the tools to navigate life and any challenges we may face but, sometimes we need help processing and making connections. That’s where I come in, simply being a passenger in the car you’re driving providing guided and trusted support.

Feel free to reach out to me via email as I offer a FREE 15-minute phone consultation as I have availability evenings during the week and weekends.
