Therapy for Men Struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, and Compulsive Behaviors in Texas
Practical, insight-oriented therapy for high-functioning men who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.
Meet Tim Young, MA, LPC
I work primarily with adult men who appear steady and capable on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected in their personal lives. Many carry constant internal pressure — racing thoughts, irritability, tension, or difficulty sleeping — that shows up at home as withdrawal, short tempers, or emotional distance.
Some cope through numbing or escape: overworking, scrolling, drinking, or other compulsive patterns. Over time, these habits strain relationships and increase stress rather than relieve it.
With Hazelden-trained experience in addiction treatment, I provide direct, grounded accountability while addressing the underlying anxiety, trauma, and emotional patterns driving these behaviors. We focus not just on stopping a habit, but on reducing the internal pressure beneath it.
Using a psychodynamic approach, I help men understand the roots of their anxiety and relational patterns so they can respond with more steadiness, clarity, and intention.
I provide therapy for men in Round Rock, Austin, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Dallas, Houston, and online across Texas.

Specialties
Explore my areas of focus below to see how I can help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected — at home, at work, and within yourself:
Anxiety Therapy for Men
Many men cope with anxiety by pushing through, staying busy, or numbing out — sometimes through substances, screens, work, or other habits that offer short-term relief but create long-term problems. What starts as a way to manage stress can slowly pull you away from your partner, your values, and yourself.
Addiction Therapy for Men
If you’ve been questioning your relationship with certain behaviors — drinking, pornography, work, gambling, or other compulsive patterns — and wondering if something needs to change, therapy offers a steady place to explore that honestly. With over a decade of experience, including Hazelden-trained addiction work, I help men uncover the emotional roots driving these patterns and move toward a more balanced, intentional life. We focus not only on stopping a behavior, but on reducing the anxiety, shame, and internal pressure beneath it.
Trauma Therapy for Men
Unresolved trauma can quietly shape how you respond to stress, relationships, and conflict. Even high-functioning men may notice anxiety, emotional shutdown, irritability, or difficulty feeling close to the people they care about — without fully understanding why. In our work, we focus on identifying how past experiences continue to influence current reactions, relationships, and coping patterns. Trauma therapy provides a steady, structured space to process these experiences thoughtfully, reduce their intensity, and build greater emotional steadiness in daily life.
Depression Therapy for Men
Depression in men doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as irritability, withdrawal, loss of motivation, increased drinking, emotional numbness, or feeling disconnected from the people who matter most. Many high-functioning men continue showing up at work and handling responsibilities while privately feeling flat, discouraged, or exhausted. Over time, the internal pressure builds — and it becomes harder to access clarity, energy, or hope. Therapy provides a steady, confidential space to understand what’s beneath the depression. Together, we explore the underlying anxiety, unresolved experiences, relational patterns, or unspoken pressures contributing to how you feel. The goal isn’t just symptom relief, but a deeper sense of stability, purpose, and emotional connection.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If stress, anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or patterns of numbing and escape are running in the background of your life — showing up as tension, irritability, overthinking, or distance at home — therapy offers a steady place to slow down and address it directly.
Many of the men I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally pressured or disconnected beneath the surface. Together, we unpack the patterns driving that disconnection and build practical ways to respond with more clarity, steadiness, and intention.
Schedule your first session and begin building stronger relationships and a way of living that feels grounded, intentional, and aligned with who you want to be.

-
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which means we look beneath the surface, not just at symptoms, but at what’s driving them. We pay attention to patterns, stress responses, and emotional reactions that often operate automatically. By understanding where these patterns come from, you gain more control over how you respond in your life, work, and relationships.
