Stefanie Young

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • 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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Cleveland, OH

Finding OCD therapists in Cleveland starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists include it in their listed specialties. As you review options, look for experience with obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and related concerns. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or other approaches that match what you want to address.

Cleveland offers a broad range of mental health care options for a mid-size city, with in-person offices across different neighborhoods and virtual sessions that can make scheduling easier. If you are comparing OCD and anxiety centers, private practices, and individual therapists, pay close attention to how each therapist describes their OCD experience. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of focus may be different from one who names ERP training directly. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, session format, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and it can also make it easier to stay with care over time. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists in Cleveland who are accepting new patients, compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapists, confirm coverage for your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
