Welcome! I am Matt and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in my 50s, married with college age kids and I've spent the better part of 30 years working with people that have found themselves facing challenges in life: Whether that be individuals facing difficult life situations, families under pressure, schools in crisis, and youth struggling to find themselves. What I've learned is that every person carries real strength, even when it doesn't feel that way. I work from a holistic view, not just what's going on in your head, but how you relate to the people and world around you. Change is possible, I would be honored to be part of yours.

Shawnda Young

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LISW‐CP) with more than 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, and high‐stress professionals. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina with a concentration in Individuals, Families, and Groups. I later completed a Play Therapist Training Program at Old Dominion University Norfolk, Virginia, and I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT‐S).

My career has been rooted in service, leadership, trauma informed care and crisis‐responsive care. Across these roles, I’ve provided therapy, crisis intervention, diagnostic assessments, supervision, and program oversight. I’ve supported individuals navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, burnout, family conflict, trauma histories, and major life transitions.

My background allows me to understand both the clinical and human sides of stress, trauma, and resilience.
