Therapy for Adults Struggling with Anxiety and Addictive or Compulsive Patterns
Helping you reduce overwhelm, build healthier coping strategies, and feel more present in your life.
Meet Tim Young, MA, LPC
I work with adults who appear steady and capable 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 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 you understand the roots of your anxiety and relational patterns so you can respond with more steadiness, clarity, and intention.
I provide therapy for adults 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:
Therapy for Anxiety
Many adults 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.
Therapy for Addiction
If you’ve been questioning your relationship with certain behaviors and wondering if something needs to change, therapy offers a supportive place to explore that honestly. With over a decade of experience, I help clients uncover the emotional roots of these patterns and move toward a more balanced, intentional life.
Trauma Therapy
Unresolved trauma can quietly shape how you respond to stress, relationships, and conflict. Even high-functioning adults may notice anxiety, emotional shutdown, irritability, or difficulty feeling close to the people they care about — without fully understanding why. Trauma therapy provides a steady space to process these experiences safely, reduce their intensity, and build a greater sense of calm and emotional stability in daily life.
Therapy for Men and Men’s Issues
For men who carry a lot of responsibility but don’t always have space to process what they’re feeling. Many of the men I work with are professionals, partners, or fathers who appear steady and capable on the outside. Internally, they may feel anxious, pressured, disconnected, or unsure how to talk about what’s really going on. Stress builds. Sleep suffers. Relationships feel strained. It becomes easier to withdraw, stay busy, or push through than to slow down and reflect. Therapy offers a structured, grounded space to step out of autopilot. We work to understand the deeper patterns shaping your stress, relationships, and sense of self , not just manage symptoms, but build clarity and steadiness from the inside out.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If stress, anxiety, old 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 gives you space to slow down and address it directly. Together, we’ll unpack the patterns driving disconnection and build practical ways to respond with more clarity, steadiness, and intention.
Schedule your first session and begin creating more grounded relationships and a way of living that feels 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.
