She's the best therapist i've ever had. She listens, she's not judgmental. It feels good to have someone to talk to that. Looks like you that understands my culture because she's a part of the culture understands my spirituality, and my relationship with God she's not demeaning. She's not disrespectful, and she seems to have a very kind heart, and I love the fact that she seems to understand me.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California with 5 years of clinical experience. I identify as Christian and have been a practicing social worker for nearly 20 years. I have therapeutic experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My warm and flexible, integrated approach to therapy draws upon therapeutic components found within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy to support you in reaching your personal treatment goals. Taking the first step to sign up for or return to therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started in your journey of personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I had my first meeting with Deonia Young today and I experienced her as a wise, kind and spacious presence, capable of compassionately holding what I was bringing and of gracefully helping me to strengthen my own container. I am surprised by and grateful for how much more hopeful I feel after meeting with her.
Deonia has engaged with me in both the journal writing and sessions. She seems to be able to cut through the emotional turmoil to quickly get to the foundational issues with a Godly perspective. I am grateful.
Deonia is an amazing therapist. She is insightful, knowledgeable, an amazing listener and I look forward to our sessions.
I really appreciate how compassionate and supportive she is!
She is amazing!
