Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based psychiatric care through secure telehealth services. I am licensed in Ohio and board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and I work with adolescents and adults seeking accessible, professional mental health care.

With over 20 years of healthcare experience, I specialize in psychiatric medication management and the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD (treatment with non-stimulant medication), bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders and related conditions.

My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, emphasizing shared decision-making, careful assessment, and individualized treatment planning.

Telehealth allows me to provide consistent, high-quality care while reducing common barriers such as travel, long wait times, and scheduling challenges. I take time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and ensure patients feel informed and supported throughout their care.

I am committed to creating a respectful, judgment-free environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and goals. Whether you are new to mental health treatment or continuing care, I focus on improving symptoms, supporting long-term stability, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Stefanie Young

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 29 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.
