Catalina Young, Therapist

Hi everyone! I’m a seasoned mental health professional with experience helping clients who seek professional support with anxiety, depression, anger management difficulties, loss and grieving, self-esteem and relational challenges, and developmental and complex trauma. For over 20 years, I have worked as a psychologist in private practice, in academia, and in the international humanitarian field with Doctors Without Borders in the Middle East. I received a PhD in Psychology in Romania and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the Family Institute, Northwestern University. In my work as a clinician, I integrate a relational psychodynamic approach with existential phenomenology and trauma-informed strategies to build on manifest strengths and the restorative power of the therapeutic relationship.
