tHERAPY THAT'S REAL. HUMAN. CONNECTED.

You Don’t Have To Go Through This Alone.
At Rippeyoung & Associates, we believe therapy is a collaborative process — not something done to you, but something we engage in with you. Our role is to support you with empathy, curiosity, and compassion as you work through what matters most to you.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or simply unsure of why life feels off, we’re here to help.
What We Offer
Individual Therapy (including children 6+, teens, adults, seniors)
Couples & Family Therapy
Virtual and In-Person Sessions
Trauma Debriefings for Workplaces
Multilingual Support: English, French, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu
Our Areas of Focus
We do not provide assessments for neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD or autism, or group therapy at this time.
Grief and loss
Grief is learning to carry love and loss together, honoring what was while embracing what will be.
Anxiety, depression & emotional overwhelm
Anxiety and depression don’t define you—healing begins with self-compassion and space to grow.
Trauma & PTSD (including EMDR therapy)
Trauma doesn’t erase your strength—EMDR and therapy help reclaim safety and resilience.
Addiction, dependence, and recovery support
Recovery is a journey—every step forward shows your strength and resilience.
Relationship and family issues
Relationships grow through communication and understanding—family struggles can lead to healing and deeper connections.
Infertility and pre- and postnatal life changes
Infertility and parenthood bring challenges, but support and self-compassion foster growth.
Life transitions
Life transitions bring change, but embracing new beginnings fosters growth.
How We Work: Therapy Approaches
We offer a range of evidence-based and integrative therapy methods, tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
Our clinicians draw from the following approaches:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – practical tools for managing thought patterns and behaviors
DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) - skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) – helping clients take action aligned with their values
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) – focused on emotional connection and healing in relationships
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – a powerful method for processing trauma
Psychodynamic Therapy – exploring the deeper patterns and roots of emotional distress
Mindfulness-Based Therapy – present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques
