A Personal Message from Dr. Young:

Click Here to Learn more about Dr. Young

Hello and thank you for visiting our web site. In 1994, I began to study Internet addiction and over the years realized the growing impact of cyberspace on children and families. Internet addiction is a type of compulsive disorder that can impact individuals, couples, and families. Based upon clinical research, the disorder can impact those who also suffer from depression, anxiety-related disorders, relationships problems, and other addictive behaviors. To provide immediate help, I offer in-person counseling for individuals, couples, and families. I also offer telephone and online counseling so that you can find help no matter where you live. Sessions provide education and intervention for Internet-related issues such as coping with cyberaffairs, pornography addiction, online gaming, eBay addiction, and parenting advice for children caught in the web. Sessions address underlying issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, social phobia, problem drinking, and related health issues leading to addictive online use. Hours are by appointment and you can reach me through my contact form to arrange an appointment today.

Online/Telephone Counseling:

Sessions are arranged in 60-minute intervals. Brief, solution-focused interventions are used to provide immediate results. These discrete sessions can be conducted from the privacy of your own home or office. The length of the online or telephone sessions can be altered for your convenience.
