Hello, I'm Jennifer Young she/her/hers

Healing is ancient; therapy is new. I am committed to liberating ourselves from oppressive structures to give breath to our authentic selves.

About Jennifer Young's Practice

Congratulations on starting your search for a therapist! Finding the right therapist can take a lot of time and energy. I will try to help by sharing what I would want to know if I were starting therapy. 

Most people will experience difficult times at some point in their life and there is no single solution that will work for everyone. As an integrative therapist, I seek to gain an accurate understanding of each individual by learning about their history and relationships and how they experience life in the present. In so doing, I strive to tailor therapy in a way that will resonate with you. I work from a trauma-informed lens and specialize in helping people move through their challenges and/or heal from traumatic event(s).

While you will see an Asian face when working with me, my life experiences have led me to identify as multicultural - a global citizen, if you will. I've had the pleasure and privilege of living, studying, or working in several different countries and these experiences have all impacted my identity and my worldview. In the U.S., people seem to understand me if I say that I identify as a 1.5 generation immigrant from Taiwan (Republic of China - it's complicated), and I am a cisgender, straight, Asian-American woman. In other places in the world, I would emphasize that I am American born in Taiwan with family lineage in China. If any of this speaks to you, great! Identity is complicated sometimes. 

As a professional (and human), I strive to remain a student. I believe expertise is overrated and dangerous for continued learning. I strive to be an ally. I strive to be anti-racist. I strive to dismantle colonizing structures. I strive to live by the Golden and Platinum Rules. I strive to act with integrity, treat all people with dignity, and connect with people from everywhere.  



 

Values and Approach

My training was based in humanistic-existential psychology and systems theory. Over the years, I have developed an interest for interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory. I believe the combination of these elements has helped me view individuals as their own unique system (physical health, identities, perceptions of ourselves and the world) and experiences (thoughts, feelings, behaviors, sensations and memories). It also helps to understand the other systems with which the individual is interacting (e.g. workplace, school, country, political environment) and the people in them. 
Having a multidimensional view of the people I work with gives us the opportunity to engage in the therapy process from a holistic perspective. For some, therapy will be short-term and goal-directed. For others, it will be longer-term and depth-oriented. I use a lens that is sensitive to how your cultural environment(s) may affect your life. I tailor my approach to what will be most effective for you given your current context(s). I enjoy working with adults in all phases of life. Much of my work has been centered around supporting Third-Culture Kids/Adults, Global Nomads, humanitarian aid workers, and expatriates.

    • Inclusive Therapists Directory & Community's Mission
      • Inclusive Therapists is a social justice and liberation-oriented mental health directory, community, and resource hub.

        We offer a safer, simpler way to find a therapist, counselor or coach committed to Racial, 2SLGBTQIA+, Neurodivergence, and Disability Justice.

        We center the needs of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and Queer, Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex, ACE+ intersections (QTBIPOC). We amplify the voices and expressions of Neurodivergent and Disabled Communities of Color.

        We are a mental health liberation movement creating change through decolonial education, collective care, and activism. Celebrating marginalized identities, abilities, and bodies!

        About Directory Listings

        The mental health providers listed in the directory operate independently, whether in private, group, or community practices, and are not directly affiliated with Inclusive Therapists. Each provider is responsible to adhere to ethical codes and regulations set forth by the licensing or governing bodies in their respective practice locations. Before being listed, all verified providers undergo an application process (see details).

        Our directory features a diverse array of mental health care providers, healers, practitioners, and coaches from various disciplines and modalities. We encourage individuals to directly inquire about a provider's credentials and education to ensure a suitable match for their needs.

    • Land Acknowledgement
      • We are located on various stolen Lands that are sacred to a number of Indigenous Peoples, including but not limited to Tribes, Nations, and Peoples such as: Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Coast Salish, Stillaguamish, and Duwamish.

        We thank the Indigenous Peoples for stewarding these Lands for generations. We pay respect to the Elders, past, present, and future.

        For settlers on our team, we acknowledge we occupy and participate in exploitation of Land that are not native to us. As an organization, we advocate for Land Back and Indigenous Sovereignty. (Give the Land back).

        We invite the mental health community to decolonize our ways of being and to dismantle colonial systems (our field included).

        May we as a community consider our roles in the liberation, and restoration of Land, language, and culture for Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island and globally.

    • If you are in crisis, please do not use this site. Call or text Blackline (prioritizing BIPOC) 800-604-5841, Trans Lifeline 877-565-8860 (US) / 877-330-6366 (Canada) or click here to see more crisis services and information about police intervention.

      Please note that some crisis line workers are mandated to report calls regarding suicide to the police. If this is a concern, we encourage you to first ask about their reporting policies before sharing.

      If you or someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger and decide to call 911, please be aware that police are not equipped to offer mental health support and may even pose danger to People of Color, Neurodivergent people and Disabled people. Please ALSO reach out to community leaders, neighbors, friends, and family to be present if you are calling the police.
