I had the privilege of hosting Dr. James young as our main guest speaker at the Nick Bolton Fitness Open House, and it was incredibly informative and engaging. From the moment he took stage, he exuded confidence, warmth, and authenticity, creating an atmosphere where everyone felt like they were part of a shared conversation rather than a passive audience. Dr. Young spoke on the intricate relationship between trauma and eating behavior which was very timely and relevant to my clients and trainers present. Dr. Young showed his ability to make the complex concepts of trauma, the neurobiology and the psychological aspects of eating easy to understand and thought-provoking to our audience. Throughout his talk, he weaved in humor and everyday life examples and kept our audience engaged and entertained. Due to some technical difficulties some adjustments had to be made immediately before his presentation to which he gracefully accommodated and was flawless in his adjustment. I really thank him for being flexible and making our event a huge success for our clients and trainers. Dr. Young is truly an outstanding educator and an inspirational speaker for mental health. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Angeliqueca Avery, EdD, MSW, LPC – S
I recently had the privilege of attending a speaking presentation by Dr. James Young at the Maxwell Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL. Dr. Young’s effective delivery and the inspiring approach he shared about dialogue with his patients really demonstrated how he connects with his patients in such a meaningful way. Dr. Young’s content was consistent with best practices and some of the most current research in the mental health field, particularly as related to patients with high acuity. In one of the impactful patient outcomes he shared, it was evident that Dr. Young has become highly skilled in meeting and anticipating the diverse needs of his patients. Dr. Young also shared meaningful insights about how he works collaboratively with his patients and views them as partners in the healing process. His perspectives reflect a commitment to fostering long-term well-being and resilience among his patients, rather than simply addressing symptoms.
Overall, Dr. Young’s presentation reflected not only his extensive expertise but also his deep compassion and respect for those he serves. It’s clear that his commitment extends far beyond his role as a prescriber, as he aims to cultivate a sense of hope, healing, and human connection in the lives of those he touches. I left Dr. Young’s speaking presentation session feeling deeply grateful for the work he does and appreciative for the opportunity to hear his message.
