Lisa Youngs, LMSW

Lisa is a Licensed Master Social Worker having earned her degree at Wayne State University. She studied CBT and Psychodynamic modalities during her degree program, working from the perspective that there is no one Right Way to make progress. She enjoys picking up tools from DBT and ACT and believes each person can walk a path to a mindful, grounded center.  

Lisa has worked in PHP and IOP care settings, as well as individual therapy. In each of these environments she leads with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity to nurture safe therapeutic holding. She believes that within a place of felt safety, cohesion, and collaboration, we can nurture growth, and when necessary, change.

Lisa honors the inherent dignity and worth in all people, and hopes to in some small part, contribute to a world where we move toward connection and vulnerability, and resist the pull toward alienation. With the perspective that our environment and systems we live in determine much of our consciousness and state, Lisa believes each person can reawaken the parts of the Self that we need to better extend care to ourselves, communities, and world.
