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.

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Cleveland

Searching for therapists in Cleveland starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches your needs. Cleveland therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach align with what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

Cleveland offers a broad range of therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, from downtown and Ohio City to Lakewood, Tremont, and surrounding areas. Your best fit may depend on more than location. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near work or home, or virtual therapy that fits more easily around your schedule. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, care approach, and what to expect in a first session.

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 understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Cleveland, review bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
