Hi, I share a home office with my four-legged boy, Jack. He is a pedigree mutt who helps keep me grounded during my workday. We help people with a variety of issues, and specialize in working with people who have lived through or are currently living through trauma. Big Ts that everyone recognizes as traumatic experiences, and Subtle Ts that people are often told to "just get over."
I have been licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2004 and have held a supervision designation since 2015. I have also held a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor with a supervision/training designation license since 2018. I have maintained a private counseling practice in Chillicothe since 2000 and I continue to work with individuals and families in that capacity. I have dedicated my career to helping others and to working with the community to ensure the well-being of families and children.
My communication style
My communication tone or approach tends to be direct but laid back. We are in session to work together not have me tell you what to do or where you need to go
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.
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 received my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from Xavier University in 2020, but have been working in the mental health field since 2016. My professional background in foster care treatment has helped me form a foundation for trauma treatment.
I am a very open-minded therapist. I have worked with a large range of different people in different settings. I have worked with kiddos from age 4 to adults aged 70+ and have found what works best for each individual I work with. I studied my undergrad at Cleveland State University and got my masters at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. After, I worked school-base, home-based, as well as within the workers comp world so have worked with a little of everything!
Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Cincinnati starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a space where their identity is understood and respected. Others may want a provider with specific experience in areas like coming out, gender identity exploration, or navigating family dynamics. Licensed providers — such as LPCs, LICSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists — who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health can offer that kind of informed, affirming care.
Cincinnati has a broad range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can take time — especially when directory listings are outdated or don't confirm whether a provider is actually accepting new patients. Reading a provider's bio is one of the most useful steps you can take. Look for details about their approach, the populations they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. A free phone consultation, when available, can also help you decide if a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a first session.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit, though costs vary based on your location and specific plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans.
