Heather Young

About Heather:

Heather Young is a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree and over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families across community-based and hospital settings. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to helping parents navigate the emotional landscape of parenthood with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

Her work is grounded in the belief that when parents are supported in understanding their own internal worlds—their histories, needs, values, and tender places—they can more authentically connect with their children. A central focus of her approach involves guiding parents through the process of re-parenting, helping them heal old wounds, integrate new insights, and cultivate the inner resources necessary to show up with greater presence for themselves and their families.

She holds a Perinatal Mental Health Certification, is a trained Child Sleep Consultant and has completed extensive training in a range of evidence-informed therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, attachment theory, self-compassion, mindfulness-based practices, and polyvagal theory. Warmth, attunement, and collaboration are the cornerstones of her practice. She is committed to creating a space where parents feel supported, genuinely seen, and empowered throughout their parenting journey.
