Dr. Gianna Young, D.P.Psy, LMHCA

Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
(206) 636-1743 giannay@seattlechristiancounseling.com

I am passionate about meeting clients in their toughest seasons and fostering healing together. I approach the counseling relationship with empathy and a holistic framework that we are complex individuals who require complex treatment. I understand that it takes time to heal. My goal is to walk alongside you and help you develop skills that will lead you toward the person God created you to be. Together with God’s help, we can experience a life filled with His peace and joy.
