Meet the Founder

Pa’Shence Young, LCSW

Hi, I’m Pa’Shence Young, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Equip to Flourish Counseling & Consulting, LLC. I believe people thrive when they feel seen, supported, and empowered, and that belief is at the heart of my work.

I’ve spent over 10 years in the mental health field, including the past four years as a therapist. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Oklahoma and obtained my clinical social work license in 2025, the same year I founded Equip to Flourish.

Throughout my professional journey, I've seen how much our environments shape our well-being. Our relationships, workplaces, and the spaces we occupy influence how we see ourselves, how we navigate challenges, and how supported we feel. That understanding inspired me to create Equip to Flourish: a space rooted in the belief that people deserve environments that support their growth, not ones that make it harder to thrive.

Through counseling, I support individuals navigating life transitions, identity development, stress, relationship challenges, and burnout. Through consulting, I partner with organizations to cultivate healthier workplace cultures, strengthen leadership, and prioritize employee well-being. Whether working with an individual or an organization, my approach is grounded in compassion, intention, and the belief that meaningful growth begins when people feel supported.

I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to being part of your journey toward growth and flourishing.

WHAT GUIDES MY WORK

People deserve environments that support their growth.

I believe people deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported in the spaces where they live and work. Meaningful change begins with understanding people's experiences and creating room for something different.
