As a psychologist and LGBTQ+ person, I’ve been feeling the weight of this moment—and I know I’m not alone.

The current administration’s harm isn’t just political—it’s personal. It affects our mental health, our sense of safety, our ability to hope. The fear, grief, and anger many of us feel are real.

I feel it too.

But I also feel the strength of our community, our tenderness, and the deep care we show one another in hard times. That is resistance too.

Please rest when you need to. Reach out. Stay connected. You are not alone.

As both a psychologist and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I want to speak honestly about what many of us are feeling right now.

The current administration’s actions and rhetoric have done real harm—not just politically, but emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. It’s painful to see our rights, safety, and dignity treated as something up for debate. The fear and grief are real. The anxiety is real. The anger is real.

I feel it too.

And yet, in the midst of this, I hold on to something just as real: our resilience, our love for each other, our capacity to show up in community—even when it’s hard.

We are not powerless. We are not alone. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Rest when you need to. Speak out when you can. We all have a role in building something better—and no matter how dark things feel, that work is still worth doing.

I'm standing with you.

Stay safe. Stay soft when you can. Stay strong when you must.

Valentine's Day is a beautiful reminder to celebrate love, but love comes in many forms. While we often think about the love we share with others, it’s just as important to nurture the love we have for ourselves. Self-love is the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life, and therapy can be a meaningful way to explore that. Through healing, growth, and understanding, therapy guides us toward embracing who we are and building a deeper connection with ourselves.

If you’ve been thinking about prioritizing your own well-being, this is the perfect time to take that step. I'm here to support you on your journey to self-love and healing. Every story is unique, and I provide a safe, compassionate space to help you navigate yours. Visit my website dempseyyoung.com to learn more about me, my approach, and how we can work together. You’re also invited to schedule a free consultation to see how I can help. You deserve the same love and care you give so freely to others—let’s begin this journey toward a better you. So, this Valentine’s Day, give yourself the gift of self-love and healing.

Although it’s not on my website yet, I’m going to be doing ADHD evaluations now. Psychological evaluations can cost thousands. So with my ADHD evaluations, we can look specifically at that and for a much better price if you want to know specifically if you fit into that diagnosis which can be incredibly helpful. I offer the testing, consultation work with me if desired to follow through with recommendations, as well as a report to give to places to obtain accommodations or treatment. Please contact me at info@dempseyyoung.com if you are interested.

Summer is almost here and although sunny days and warm temps are great for many of us mood wise, sometimes it is also a helpful time to work on ourselves in different ways. If you feel like now is the time to dig into some of emotional blockages that have been holding you back to work towards full enjoyment of summer and of course even the rest of the year in general, let me know if you would like to talk to see if therapy together would be a good fit!
