A therapist whose top priority is customized treatments for the individual. Dr. Younger values the creativity and growth potential of every human being and believes change is possible no matter how entrenched one may be in a given situation.

In addition to having completed a master's degree in psychology from New York University, a master's degree in child psychology from the Anna Freud Centre in London, and a doctorate in psychology from the University of London, Dr. Younger is a trained couple (Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships in London) and a certified group psychotherapist (Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society in New York).
"... I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic process to heal and to grow. Though it may be hard work and at times somewhat painful, if you are committed to the process, there is so much to gain. As a therapist I take a holistic approach to working with people. I have close relationships with other psychologists, psychiatrists, naturopaths, acupuncturists, nutritionists, and physical therapists. It is my belief that therapy will not be effective if there are significant imbalances in other areas of one’s life, the most basic of which are diet, sleep, and exercise. In my opinion, one of the limitations of modern medicine is the extent to which people specialize. It inevitably leads to treating symptoms and component parts versus treating the person as a whole. The mind and the body are inextricably bound. I keep this in mind during all of my sessions...." - Dr. Younger.
