EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps clients process traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and depression by reprocessing distressing memories. Sessions typically last 55-90 minutes with optional 6-hour intensive options combining sound healing for accelerated healing.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Combines sublingual ketamine administration with psychotherapy to treat depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Sessions include preparation, integration, and optional sound healing. The psychedelic experience facilitates deep emotional exploration and neuroplasticity, with effects often noticeable after 4-8 sessions.

Comprehensive Resource Model

Holistic trauma treatment integrating breathing exercises, guided meditations, and somatic work. Sessions use layered resources to safely process traumatic memories. Recommended for 90-minute sessions to allow deeper processing of complex trauma and attachment wounds.

Past Life Regression

Hypnotherapy-based exploration of perceived past life experiences to address current emotional patterns. Sessions include guided trance states and spiritual exploration. Two-hour sessions include pre- and post-session consultation for integration.

EMDR Consultation

Professional consultation for EMDR therapists seeking certification or skill development. Focuses on protocol application, resource development, and working with complex cases including LGBTQI+ populations and medical professionals.

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.

Its 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 didnt know what to expect, but was immediately put at ease through Maggies 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. Ive 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!
