2295 West Market Street, Akron, OH

Hello, I'm Stefanie Young, an Army brat, born in Germany and a Gulf War Veteran. I've spent my entire career in and around first response: military, military police, and civilian law enforcement which has truly shaped my approach to therapy by understanding the culture, the pressures that come with it, and what it takes to finally talk to someone.

My practice is a confidential, open space for adults working through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, anger, and depression. If you're a first responder or veteran, you won't need to explain your world to me, I've lived it. And if you're not, you're equally welcome as well.

Picking a therapist while scrolling through a long list can be intimidating so knowing as much as you can ahead of time may help. A little about me: I have been licensed in Ohio since 2002. I graduated with my bachelor's degree from Ohio University in Athens and my master's from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I truly love what I do! I understand how hard it may be to take that initial step to reach out for help. I will support you in the therapeutic process. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My path to psychiatry began with a simple observation: mental health needs are everywhere, yet not enough people have access to care. After five years as a family nurse practitioner, I made the move to psychiatric care because I wanted to be part of the solution. I bring a holistic perspective to every session, drawing on years of primary care experience to understand how physical and mental health are connected in each person. I am board certified and see patients virtually in Ohio. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I am here to work alongside you toward real, lasting change.
