Meet Dr. Young
Welcome to Untethered Care! I'm Dr. Molly Young (they/them). I am a Licensed Psychologist in Washington and Oregon as well as a Certified Holistic Sex Therapist™. I proudly identify as non-binary, queer, and neurodivergent provider (AuDHD).
Education
I received my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology and my Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from Pacific University in Oregon. My graduate research focused on cultural competence with kinky and non-monogamous clients. I am also a Certified Holistic Sex Therapist™ via the Institute for Sex Education & Enlightenment.
My Approach
I believe in mental and sexual healthcare that is sex-positive and trauma-informed. I am kink and poly knowledgeable. I am allied with and affirming of 2SLGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and sex worker communities. I take an attachment-based, feminist, and relational approach to therapy. Therapy with me often looks like a combination of therapeutic support, psychoeducation, tailored tools, and at-home exercises to support you in the process of accessing your erotic and relational self. That being said, I tend to be pretty go with the flow and I trust clients to show up to sessions with an idea of what they’d like to work on that day. Expect a healthy dose of humor, too!
Outside of Work
I am happiest when I am writing music, singing, and playing guitar. I love attending live music events including raves and festivals. I can often be found on the hunt for the best diners in the area or simply at home with my cat, Orla. I feel most fulfilled when I am spending time with my people: learning new things, exploring new places, having deep belly laughs, and being comfortably “weird” with each other.
