Spring is a time for renewal and what better time to focus on renewing yourself and your life! In my 16 years as a therapist, I've supported many clients to take a new look at their life and to move toward that renewal. While therapy might feel scary at first, my training and support will make it less so. I can teach you skills through therapies including DBT and EMDR that will allow you to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and more. Your life doesn't have to feel out of control or difficult to manage. I'm here to help. Allow me to walk with you as we work together toward building the healthier life you want and deserve!

Family dynamics can be one of the biggest challenges we face, and one of the most difficult things in our lives to manage. Relationships are hard, both with partners and with children. Do you find that your children sometimes feel like more of a burden than a joy? Are you finding your child's behaviors challenging or unmanageable? Maybe something is going on with your child that is more than "just a phase." Is parenting with your partner often stressful? Do you feel like you're not being heard and your relationship is unsatisfying? If you find that you are overwhelmed or consistently frustrated, maybe you need some support.

I have 15 years of clinical experience working with parents, children and families. I work with families to identify priorities and focus on the goals that will make everyone’s lives more enjoyable and fulfilling. I use Family Systems Therapy and Child-Parent Psychotherapy to support building positive connections between couples, parents and children.

I can help you by offering parenting support and strategies that will help make positive and lasting changes for you and your family. If you’re concerned about your relationship with your partner or your child’s behaviors, call for a free consultation. There are great opportunities for growth and change, and things CAN get better!

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.

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 Independence

Finding therapists in Independence starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Independence, local in-person openings may be more limited than in nearby Cleveland, Brecksville, or Seven Hills. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping access to Ohio-licensed therapists who fit your schedule. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Independence can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you find a fit.

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