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.
As a former firefighter, paramedic, and emergency planner, Matthew deeply understands the impact of trauma on those who served and protect. His mission is to help all individuals move beyond survival-toward healing, wholeness, and hope.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction recovery, and big life transitions. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start to heal. Together, we’ll focus on building practical coping skills, confidence, and lasting change. I also support families raising children with autism, as well as individuals managing both mental health and substance use challenges.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Lakewood, OH
Searching for therapists in Lakewood starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Lakewood therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can show how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Lakewood, nearby office options may be limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while still keeping care within Ohio. You may prefer an in-person therapist near central Lakewood, the lakefront, or nearby Cleveland neighborhoods, or a virtual therapist with appointment times that fit your schedule. Before booking, check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and has availability that works for you. Reading bios closely can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before choosing a therapist.
Therapy in Lakewood can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you start care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated session cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Lakewood, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
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.
