Hello, and welcome to Creative Journeys Counseling, where I support adult and kiddo clients with EMDR, Sandplay, Play Therapy, and more. Now offering in-person sessions for people who are fully vaccinated! Are you, or is your child struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, self-criticism, sadness, compassion fatigue, or painful memories and triggers that just won't go away?
Or maybe you are feeling disconnected from who and where you'd most like to be in your life. Complications arising from divorce, trauma, unhealthy life and relationship patterns, adoption, and concerns with coming out as LGBTQIA+ and transitioning are just some of the reasons people seek out a mental health therapist.

Services
In addition to being a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW), I am a registered play therapist and a certified sandplay therapist. I am trained in DBT and attachment-based approaches, and am also certified in EMDR therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Past Life Soul Regression Therapy.
I am also trained in mindfulness, guided meditation and visualization techniques, and am a Reiki Master as well, so you can be assured my office is at all times energetically cleared and protected.

Together, we can identify challenges you are currently experiencing, explore ways in which they might be linked to painful experiences in the past, and support you as you change your life in the ways most meaningful to you. My goal as your therapist is to focus on supporting you and the way that you individually experience your life.
Do you feel like you are at your wit's end, trying to help your kids manage their behavior and BIG feelings? Do they seem to worry a lot, cry or seem 'shut down'? Or maybe they are being extra defiant--more than other kids their age. Or perhaps something scary or painful happened to them, and they are having a hard time getting past it.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is considered one of the most effective treatments for trauma, and is both evidence and research-based. It is often the treatment of choice for clearing the emotional charge of painful experiences and memories, and has been used successfully to treat depression, anxiety, fears and phobias as well.
Sometimes adults and children are a little nervous about what will happen in the first session. This is completely normal! There is plenty of free parking, both in front of the building and in the garage, and there are entrances to the building from both places. For divorced parents, please also remember to bring in your custody agreement for your kiddo's chart.

Maggie Young is an incredibly empathic and creative therapist, who uses a variety of modalities for adults and children. I participated in a small-group past life regression session, in which she brought us into a state of deep relaxation and openness to experience. She created a container for that experience that was very calm and safe. The process itself was very powerful, and she offered a highly-skilled debrief at the end. I would definitely recommend Maggie to anyone who is interested in mindful self-exploration. She is smart, compassionate, and kind.

It’s disappointing and sad that mental health professionals believe that it is acceptable to not return e-mails and calls to potential clients. A simple “sorry, my practice is full” would have sufficed. I reached out on 4/14 to ask the provider about her services by leaving a voice message and an email. My communications were never even acknowledged.

I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but was immediately put at ease through Maggie’s calm and grounding presence. The space was relaxing and helped me to further sink down into the experience. Maggie attended to every detail to make sure I felt safe, comfortable and prepared for what turned out to be a truly exciting and meaningful journey. I got so much from the first session, I went back for another! I am so happy I worked past some of my doubts and fears, because this has proven to be a valuable addition to my spiritual practice. Thanks again Maggie for these unforgettable sessions

I was very nervous and apprehensive going in, but Ms. Young completely put me at ease. She was so calming and friendly that I was at peace trusting her immediately. It was a great experience that I will value forever! I look forward to going again. I’ve already told some friends it should be on their list of things to do in their lifetime.

Maggie has a great calming presence about her. She is attentive, compassionate, and non-judgmental in her approach. I learned a lot about myself in this experience and would recommend this to anyone who wanted to learn more about themselves, even those who are somewhat skeptical. I would absolutely do this again!
