Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Akron, OH covered by United Healthcare

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.

My name is Jeannine Taylor. I earned a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Doctoral Degree from Kent State University. I also am Assistant Professor of Family & Community Medicine at Northeast Ohio College of Medicine. I enjoy helping people balance work and family; navigate the challenges before, during and after divorce; and cope with changes associated with midlife and later life. I also help clients make career decisions and establish educational goals.

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW COUPLES AS OF MARCH 6, 2026; HOWEVER, I AM ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS.

I am a relational therapist. This means I don’t treat you like a diagnosis to be cured, and I don't sit back as an aloof expert. We work as equals. I believe that the relationship and trust we build together in our sessions is the actual tool we use to help you heal. My focus is to help you get to the root cause of your distress and heal the relational wounds that are keeping you stuck.

Our sessions will not be "all talk therapy." I do a lot of experiential, hands-on work with my clients. Over twenty years of practice in various treatment settings has taught me that we cannot just talk our way out of deep suffering. I use creative, experiential approaches to help you safely access, process, and heal the core wounds and complex trauma that impact your daily life, your parenting, and your relationships.

I specialize in treating complex trauma and OCD. I offer alternative, "bottom-up" evidence-based approaches to healing that are designed to be less clinical, rigid, or shaming than traditional methods. If you are struggling with OCD, we can look beyond standard ERP to find a path that respects your pacing and boundaries. My goal is to provide modern, effective treatment that helps you heal without making you feel like you are being tested or judged.

Hi, I’m Ebony, and I’m truly passionate about my career and the clients I serve. I believe in creating a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported. My goal is to make things simple, clear, and comfortable, so you always know you’re in good hands. I’m here to listen, answer questions, and partner with you every step of the way.

I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology at Colorado State University and my master's in clinical mental health counseling at Kent State University. I have experiencing working with adolescents in a residential treatment facility and have spent the last three years working with individuals ages 7-75 in a community mental health organization with a wide range of diagnoses. I spent the first several years of my career focusing on working with children with ADHD and their families at an internship through the Cleveland Clinic. I specialize in behavioral concerns, interpersonal conflict, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and stress management. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, TV, and sports, spending time with friends and family, and being outdoors.

Hi, I’m a compassionate and dedicated therapist who's independently licensed in multiple areas with over 14 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and empowered. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths and help you move toward the life you want.
