About
Eric
Young
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Hello and welcome, I'm Eric.
​
Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have spent most of my life within a few hours of San Francisco.
As long as I remember I have always been a sensitive person, and from a young age dealt with challenges in coming to terms parts my own identity and painful experiences. I have experienced my fair share of struggles, and have also been privileged in getting to be the beneficiary of an immense amount of support along the way.
​
Having had the good fortune to receive support that has helped me to feel more empowered in my life, has fed my desire to help support others through the challenges of their lives.
Some things I enjoy in my free time are playing and listening to music, spending time outside, taking care of my body, and spending time with people who I care about deeply.
