Shang Young

Shang Young, MSED, is a queer Taiwanese American therapist who supports individuals, couples, and families seeking greater clarity, authenticity, and connection. Shang earned his Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and received clinical training in crisis and college counseling settings.

As a staff psychotherapist, Shang works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. He has particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients as well as Asian American, multiracial, and third culture individuals. He welcomes clients from all backgrounds and provides therapy in both English and Mandarin.

Before becoming a therapist, Shang spent over a decade working in the tech industry and has long engaged in creative practice as a violinist and dancer. Together, these experiences inform his belief that growth and healing are not linear processes, but creative ones that unfold through curiosity, experimentation, and change. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships, or wondering what comes next, he creates a space in therapy to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and move toward deeper self-knowledge, growth, and meaningful change.

Therapy with Shang is a collaborative space to explore the experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns that have shaped your life. Drawing from psychodynamic and experiential approaches through a trauma-informed and liberatory lens, he helps clients cultivate new ways of relating to themselves and others with greater compassion, freedom, and flexibility.

At the heart of Shang’s work is the belief that every person has inherent worth, even when life experiences have made that difficult to believe. Throughout the therapeutic process, Shang aims to help clients develop a deeper sense of self-compassion, a stronger connection to themselves and others, and greater confidence in building a life that reflects who they are and what matters most to them.
