Lauren Young, LPC

Lauren Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She began her career in a community mental health agency, where she developed a deep understanding of how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other chronic stressors affect individuals and family systems. That early work shaped a practice built around helping people and families manage anxiety, depression, abuse and neglect histories, parenting struggles, grief, and the everyday frustrations that can make life feel overwhelming.

With ten years of experience and extensive work with adolescents and young adults, she brings particular expertise supporting younger clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She also has a strong interest in supporting women who are newly engaged or who are new parents, helping them navigate the unique pressures and adjustments of those life seasons so they can find ways to thrive.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, empathetic, goal-oriented, and client-centered. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set practical goals, address stressors, and build skills that promote greater resilience and well-being. As a Christian, she is open to discussing spirituality as part of care when that is important to the client.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from East Tennessee State University and a Master of Arts from Milligan College. Married for seven years and managing a dual-working household, she relates to the challenges of balancing work and family life. She welcomes conversations with people who are ready to begin making meaningful changes.
