Understanding the Patterns That Keep You Stuck
Often anxiety, burnout, and depression are signals pointing toward deeper feelings and relationship patterns that haven’t yet been understood.
I specialize in individual therapy for men navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, and emotional disconnection. My depth-oriented approach goes beyond symptom management to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Available in person in Round Rock and online throughout Texas.
Meet Tim Young, MA, LPC
I specialize in men’s therapy for adults in Round Rock, Austin, and throughout Texas, providing private, confidential individual therapy for men struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, anger, addiction, and emotional disconnection.
My approach is informed by psychodynamic and modern analytic therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore the deeper emotional and relationship patterns that may be contributing to feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
I also bring Hazelden-trained experience in addiction treatment and extensive familiarity with 12-step recovery, integrating principles such as honesty, accountability, vulnerability, and connection when appropriate.
My practice is intentionally focused on providing specialized individual therapy for men in a discreet, individualized setting. I offer in-person therapy in Round Rock and online therapy throughout Texas, including Austin, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Dallas, and Houston.

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
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
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.
Understanding the Emotional Impact of Past Experiences
Experiences from earlier in life can influence how you respond to stress, conflict, and relationships today. Therapy helps you understand these patterns and develop more grounded ways of responding.
Depression Therapy
Depression in men often appears as exhaustion, irritability, loss of motivation, or a sense of emotional numbness rather than obvious sadness. Therapy helps you understand what may be contributing to these patterns and develop a steadier, more engaged way of relating to your life, your work, and the people who matter most.
Burnout and Work Stress Therapy
Many men respond to pressure by pushing harder — working longer hours, carrying more responsibility, and telling themselves they just need to get through the next deadline or project. Over time, that constant push can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, and mentally exhausted. What once felt like ambition or dedication can slowly turn into burnout that affects your focus, your relationships, and your sense of purpose.
Anger and Irritability Therapy
For many men, anger is one of the few emotions that feels acceptable to express. Frustration builds quietly beneath the surface until it comes out as irritability, tension, or sharp reactions with the people closest to you. These moments can feel confusing or discouraging, especially when they don’t reflect the kind of partner, parent, or leader you want to be.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
Starting therapy can feel like a big decision. My goal is to make the process straightforward, comfortable, and collaborative.
The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute video consultation. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your first therapy session. During that initial session, I’ll take time to understand what has been happening in your life, what you’re hoping will change, and what has led you to seek therapy now. Just as importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to experience what it feels like to work with me. A strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in meaningful therapy, so it’s important that you feel comfortable, understood, and supported.
I offer both in-person therapy in Round Rock and secure online therapy for clients throughout Texas.
When you’re ready, schedule your free consultation. I’d be honored to meet you and explore whether we’re a good fit to work together.
