Tammy Young
LPC | Director - BHS Woodbridge
Hi! I’m Tammy Young, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Army veteran at the Youth For Tomorrow Woodbridge Office. I provide both in-person and telehealth therapy services for clients of all ages throughout Virginia, with a primary focus on adolescents and adults. I strive to create a comfortable, genuine environment where you can be yourself and feel like you’re talking to a real person, not simply a “therapist by the book.”
One of my favorite reminders is, “Your current situation is not your final destination.” I believe that where you are today does not determine where you can go from here. I enjoy supporting clients navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, infertility, parenting struggles, and other life challenges. As an Army veteran, I also have a passion for helping military members and veterans explore and better understand how their military experiences may impact their lives during and after service. I want you to know that I’m human too, and I work to create a relatable, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable talking openly about what you’re experiencing.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Old Dominion University and my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered interventions, but I believe therapy should be tailored to the person sitting in front of me rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula. I meet clients where they are, helping them better understand their experiences, recognize their strengths, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.
I believe in taking care of both your mental and physical well-being and recognizing that growth doesn’t always happen in a straight line. Wherever you are starting from, I look forward to supporting and encouraging you as you work toward where you want to be. Outside of work, I enjoy bodybuilding, weightlifting, listening to motivational speakers and podcasts, spending time with my kids, and being around dogs.

Hello and warm greetings! I am a Resident in Counseling with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated with my master’s in the Fall of 2023 from the University of the Cumberlands in Southeastern Kentucky. Beginning my residency in NOVA in September 2023, I have been able to work with children through adult populations of diverse backgrounds.
Entering counseling can be daunting, especially when coming for the first time. In sessions, I aim for you to feel truly seen and heard. I aspire to empower my clients and help them to lead meaningful lives, however, that looks to you. Presence matters. The therapeutic encounter can be very unique in that it is a helping relationship meant for the healing and growth of the person seeking services. In sessions, I find joy in providing a safe space where you are valued. At times, I also utilize silence as a meaningful and powerful tool.
My primary work is with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), adjustment issues, and relationship conflicts. My approach utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and techniques from mindfulness and logotherapy. Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time in nature, going out with friends, exercising, and traveling.
In life, we can be surprised by what doors may be opened if we simply embrace the opportunity to knock.

Hi! I’m Mariah Gray, RIC, ATR-P, an Art Therapist and Resident in Counseling at the Youth For Tomorrow Woodbridge Office. I provide both in-person and telehealth therapy services for clients of all ages throughout Virginia. I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, and I strive to create a welcoming, creative space where clients can have real conversations, express themselves freely, and feel like they’re connecting with another person rather than sitting in a sterile clinical environment.
I believe there is power in having someone truly present with you: someone who listens, helps you explore what’s beneath the surface, and sometimes offers a different perspective. With children, that may mean having a trusted adult who is ready to listen, play, and enter their world. With adolescents and adults, it may mean having someone who can help you look at your experiences in a new way. I gently encourage clients to explore different perspectives, helping them look at their experiences in new ways while still honoring their feelings and allowing them to lead their own healing. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and especially value opportunities to provide culturally responsive care to BIPOC individuals and communities.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Art from Regent University and my Master’s degree in Art Therapy from George Washington University. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, creative, and integrative, incorporating Art Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). My background also includes trauma-informed and community-based approaches that help break down barriers to mental health care. I tailor therapy to each person, using both conversation and creative expression to help clients explore emotions, develop coping skills, strengthen their sense of self, and find their own voice.
I believe therapy can be a place to create, explore, question, and discover new ways of understanding yourself and your experiences. You don’t have to be an artist or even consider yourself creative to benefit from art therapy- we’ll find what works for you. Outside of work, I’m an artist myself and enjoy creating my own art, catching up on sleep, watching Asian dramas, and finding new ways to stay connected to creativity and community.

LPC, LSATP, CSAC | Mental/Substance Abuse/Therapist
Hi! I’m Scarlete Johnson, LPC, LSATP, CSAC, a Licensed Professional Counselor at the Woodbridge Office. I provide in person and virtual therapy services for adolescents ages 15 and older and adults, couples, families, and groups throughout Virginia. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel respected, empowered, and encouraged as they work toward healing and lasting wellness.
I believe real change begins with honest conversations. My approach is authentic, direct, and compassionate because I know growth happens when we can openly address life’s challenges while feeling genuinely supported. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life’s many stressors while helping clients build healthy coping skills and regain confidence in themselves. I understand the stigma that can surround both mental health and substance use, and I strive to provide a judgment-free space where clients feel respected, challenged, and empowered to move toward lasting change. Whether we’re working individually or in a group setting, my goal is to help each client develop the skills and resilience needed to live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. Since entering the mental health field in 2013, I have worked in residential treatment, intensive case management, intensive outpatient and outpatient substance use treatment, outpatient mental health, and intensive in-home family services. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and family systems principles. I tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs, believing that therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, flexible, and centered on the whole person.
I believe healing is a journey, and no one should have to walk it alone. I look forward to partnering with you as you work toward greater balance, healthier relationships, and the life you want to create. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, gaming, and visiting museums.

MSW, SISW | Therapist
Hi! I’m Aracely Panameño, a Master’s-level Social Worker at the Youth For Tomorrow Woodbridge Office. I provide both in-person and telehealth therapy services for adolescents ages 12 and older and adults throughout Virginia in both English and Spanish. I strive to create a calm and inviting environment where you can feel respected, understood, and comfortable sharing your experiences. My style is approachable and encouraging while also being direct and gently challenging when it can help you move toward your goals.
I believe therapy is a place to become curious about yourself, your experiences, and the patterns that shape your life. I enjoy working with clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, attachment concerns, PTSD, grief, immigration and migration trauma, relationship difficulties, and work or career challenges. I also enjoy supporting adolescents through major transitions, including starting high school or college and navigating the pressures of competitive sports. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and have a particular interest in supporting Latino/Hispanic, Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ+ individuals, military members and veterans, and individuals who may experience financial or systemic barriers to mental health care.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic and Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I don’t believe therapy should look exactly the same for everyone, so I tailor our work to your individual experiences, strengths, needs, and goals while helping you develop greater insight and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.
I believe meaningful growth can happen when you have a space where you feel accepted as you are while also feeling encouraged to explore new possibilities. I look forward to getting to know you, understanding what matters to you, and working together toward the changes you want to see in your life. Outside of work, I enjoy walking and running with my dog, bicycling and spinning, reading, and watching movies.
