The B&G Experience

Breanna Young is a licensed mental health counselor, speaker, and organizational consultant based in Des Moines, Iowa, with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and 10 years in clinical leadership. Since becoming licensed in 2014, she has been dedicated to helping adolescents and adults navigate stress, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and performance challenges—supporting personal growth, balance, and renewed purpose.

As the founder of B&G Mental Health Counseling and Consulting, Breanna provides virtual mental health counseling and strategic organizational consultation services across Des Moines, West Des Moines, Southern Iowa, and rural Iowa. The “G” in B&G proudly stands for George—her fun-loving, loyal English Springer Spaniel—who often joins Breanna at presentations and community events, bringing a lighthearted, welcoming energy that makes sessions and workshops engaging and approachable.

In her counseling practice, Breanna helps clients manage stress, improve overall well-being, and build practical strategies for lasting growth and resilience. As a speaker and organizational consultant, she works with leaders and teams to reduce burnout, improve workplace culture, and foster mental wellness at both individual and organizational levels.

Beyond her clinical and consulting work, Breanna is passionate about expanding access to mental health education through community partnerships, school outreach, and professional development events. George continues to be a grounding and joyful presence in her work, embodying trust, connection, and authenticity in every session and presentation.
