Lauren Young , LPC

Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with ten years of clinical experience. She began her work in a community mental health agency, where she developed a clear perspective on how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other stressors shape both individual lives and family dynamics.

Throughout her career she has supported families, adolescents, and young adults facing anxiety, depression, abuse or neglect, parenting challenges, stress, grief, and the day-to-day frustrations of life. She has particular experience helping people navigate trauma and life transitions and has a strong interest in supporting women who are newly engaged or adjusting to new parenthood, seasons that bring both joy and significant stress.

Her style is empathetic, warm, goal-oriented, and client-centered. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set concrete goals, work through stressors, and build practical coping skills that lead to greater confidence and functioning. As a Christian, she is also open to discussing spirituality as it relates to a person’s goals and values. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from East Tennessee State University and a master’s degree from Milligan College, and she brings personal insight into balancing work and family life after seven years of marriage.
