About
Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing requires a guide who understands the intricate pathways of the mind. Rochelle Young, M.A., a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern, offers a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy that empowers individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness.
As a natural strategist and information gatherer, Rochelle's therapeutic style is both person-centered and holistic. She recognizes that many of the obstacles we face stem from coping mechanisms that may have once served us well but are no longer effective. With this insight, Rochelle collaborates with her clients to explore the root causes of their struggles and develop tailored strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
Rochelle's expertise spans a wide range of areas, including anxiety, panic, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, life transitions, and ADHD in teens and adults. She employs a diverse toolkit of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), meditation and mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and integrative psychotherapy. This versatile skill set allows her to adapt her methods to best suit each client's unique needs and goals.
Drawing from her background in education, Rochelle understands the power of knowledge in the healing process. She takes the time to educate her clients about what's happening in their brains and bodies, fostering a deeper understanding that enhances self-resilience and patience. Her approach is collaborative, focusing on helping clients develop a more profound awareness of their thoughts and behaviors while teaching practical techniques such as grounding, guided imagery, and deep breathing to alleviate stress and promote calm.
Rochelle's journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in her own experiences of personal growth and healing. Her decision to uproot her life and move to St. Petersburg at the age of 23 in pursuit of better mental health gives her a unique perspective on the courage it takes to make significant life changes. This personal insight, combined with her professional training, allows her to connect deeply with clients who are navigating their own life transitions and seeking to build a healthier, happier version of themselves.
In therapy with Rochelle, clients can expect a supportive environment where they can safely explore their fears, worries, and traumas. Her goal is to help individuals feel more confident, grounded, and present in their daily lives. Whether you're struggling with ruminating thoughts, looking to improve your relationships, or seeking to understand yourself better, Rochelle is committed to walking alongside you on your path to healing and self-discovery.
