Our story starts with the loss of our beloved cat, Ellie, our Gray girl. Perhaps your story begins with a similar loss, or perhaps it starts with the weight of the pain you carry. The grief that comes from missing out on life's joys due to past trauma is real, and we are here to support you in rediscovering how to live to the fullest. As psychotherapists, and more importantly as fellow humans, we understand how overwhelming it can feel when your thoughts and behaviors seem to hinder your future. We often find ourselves trapped in repeating patterns and are left feeling exhausted by their effects. One of those natural consequences is black-and-white thinking. In our practice, we navigate the ambiguity and complexities of life together, teaching you how to embrace the gray areas. This is how we live in the gray.

With hope, 

Ryan and Jessie Young

We understand the difficulties of reaching out for help when life seems overwhelming or when we find it difficult to overcome our own pain that is causing problems in our lives. Who do we reach out to? Who will provide us with the support we need? Who will listen and understand? Who will validate and acknowledge us without judgment?
