Newell Young, LICSW

Newell Young is a licensed psychotherapist in Massachusetts with more than 25 years of clinical experience. He holds an LICSW, which denotes a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and has provided care across crisis teams, day treatment programs, and hospitals while offering individual, couples, and group psychotherapy throughout his career.

He adapts his clinical style to match each person's needs, combining clear feedback and practical strategies when a problem-solving approach is preferred. At the same time he often draws on spiritual and existential perspectives, integrating those elements with evidence-based skills to support meaning, values, and coping.

His training includes extensive work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure techniques, mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems, and Nonviolent Communication. That breadth allows him to tailor interventions - whether teaching emotion regulation skills, addressing avoidance through exposure, or exploring life purpose and values.

Young is comfortable working in high-intensity and crisis situations and emphasizes building a strong therapeutic alliance early in treatment. He is particularly interested in working with people who are open to mindfulness and spiritual modalities and seeks to blend those approaches with clinical tools to support recovery and growth.
