Hello, my name is Jennifer Young, a licensed professional counselor with a doctor of behavioral health degree and nearly 20 years of experience supporting teens, young adults, and older adults through stress, anxiety, life transitions, and burnout. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by life's demands, disconnected from their goals, or unaware of their goals. If you were seeking guidance, practical tools, coping strategies, and a safe environment to regain balance. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, helping you process challenges, build resilience, and achieve meaningful, long-term emotional and personal growth.
Using trauma-informed principles, Rogerian empathy, CBT, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused techniques, I offer a grounded, client-centered approach. You can expect a compassionate space focused on real progress starting from strength-based treatment planning to ongoing review, as I help you feel your best as quickly as possible.
Reaching out for support is a powerful first step toward the life you deserve. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone, and I am here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and deep commitment to your well-being. When you feel ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to schedule your first session.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we can impact each other in positive and negative ways, and how processing grief and trauma empowers and strengthens our dignity.
I am a licensed professional counselor with three years of experience. I earned my Master of Arts from Franciscan University of Steubenville and have specialized training in CBT, ACT, solution-focused brief therapy, person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care. I typically work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, and trauma. Whether navigating a specific crisis or pursuing personal growth, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to achieve their goals.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I draw primarily from CBT, helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills. Together, we'll work to build self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful progress toward your goals.
Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out is often the first step toward meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, you don't have to navigate those challenges alone. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you.

Seeking help does not signify weakness. In fact, it signifies quite the opposite. Asking for help is a sign of strength, as it takes true strength to admit that you have work to do and that you are willing to go the extra mile to improve your life as well as your relationship with God. When you devote time and attention to your faith, you also put time and attention into your relationships with others as well as your own personal growth.
Christian counselors help individuals conquer a variety of challenges. There aren’t any challenges that prove to be too big or too small to receive help with. Remember: Asking for help is a sign of strength. At Thriveworks Bethlehem Counseling, our Christian Counselors can help you in the following areas:
Going to your first counseling appointment can feel intimidating or scary. There are too many unknowns that might make you wary or uncertain. In Christian counseling at Thriveworks Bethlehem, you can find comfort in the fact that your provider shares your Christian faith and will use your faith to create an effective plan to help you make improvements in counseling. Your Christian counselor will keep your faith close as they design this plan and also utilize psychological practices that prove to help people heal and grow.
Sometimes when we struggle, we lose touch with our faith and put our relationship with God on the wayside. Christian counseling can help put things back into perspective again as you learn to deal with the challenges in your life and walk closer to God again.
If you are interested in pursuing Christian counseling and all that it can do for you, give Thriveworks Bethlehem a call.
