About Christine Young

As a licensed clinical social worker, Christine brings a wealth of experience and a deeply personal touch to her practice, creating a space where you can truly feel seen and understood.

Christine's commitment to mental well-being began with a degree in psychology from DePaul University in 2013, followed by her MSW from the University of Illinois in 2015. Her decision to become a therapist was profoundly influenced by a desire to cultivate a safe and relatable space for Black and Brown clients, ensuring they could share their therapeutic journeys with someone who truly understood their unique experiences.

A proud Chicago native, she lives there with her husband and children, finding joy in traveling, cooking, eating, and reading when she's not supporting her clients.

Finding the right therapist can feel like a significant step, and Christine is here to make that journey a little easier.
