OCD affects many Toledo residents, from contamination fears to checking behaviors and handwashing rituals. Headway offers access to providers trained in specialized therapies like EMDR and Cognitive Therapy, with flexible scheduling and support for your mental health journey.
I have been practicing as a therapist for 13 years, and have had a wide range of experience within that time. I have worked with at-risk youth in shelters, supported young adults and teens with mental health treatment after hospitalization, to now providing individual therapy in an outpatient setting. I earned my Master's in Social Work in 2014, and have been practicing with my LISW. I have mostly worked with mood disorders, like anxiety and depression, or with trauma (PTSD). As a lesbian with ADHD myself, I also specialize in neurodivergency and LGBT+ issues.
I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. As a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that healing begins with understanding. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story without judgment and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I provide individualized, evidence-based care for adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, ADHD/ADD, and sleep disorders.
I am a mother of 3 children with autism. I have completed my undergraduate studies at Kent State, My graduate studies at Capella University where I did residency in Chicago and Atlanta. I have almost 7 years of experience in the field working in collaboration with ODJFS to help children and families. I live on a small hobby farm in Ohio and enjoy the outdoors.
I’m Dr. Michelle S. McBride, DNP, PMHNP-BC, MBA, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Rush University in Chicago, IL. Before obtaining my doctorate, I was a board-certified psychiatric registered nurse, gaining extensive experience across various clinical settings, including inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, community behavioral health, and forensic psychiatry (jail-based care).
I am experienced, confident in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including:
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.
I help adolescents, adults, couples, and families move beyond patterns that keep them stuck. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, I focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating lasting change. I approach therapy with a clear understanding of how past experiences can shape current patterns, while helping clients build practical tools to improve daily functioning. My background in crisis work allows me to provide steady, effective support even in high-stress situations.
I pride myself on diversifying my skill set as a social worker and have worked in a myriad of settings over the years. I have experience ranging from community mental health, inpatient acute psychiatric, outpatient, mental health policy, and veteran’s healthcare.
My areas of expertise include psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, military and non-military PTSD, interpersonal and relationship issues, family conflict, stress, and self-esteem. I see both individuals from 18 years old and upward as well as couples for couples counseling. My treatment modalities vary from CBT, DBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, humanistic therapy, and motivational interviewing.
I think it is important to know that I am a very genuine person who strives to make the counseling space feel warm and safe.


Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding OCD therapists in Toledo starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination concerns, reassurance seeking, mental rituals, or compulsive behaviors. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that name OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or related experience in the therapist’s listed specialties and bio.
Toledo offers a range of mental health care options, but the right fit depends on more than location. Some people prefer an in-person office near their home, workplace, or school, while others use virtual sessions to access more therapists across Ohio. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity and review whether they describe specific ERP training or experience. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.
Therapy in Toledo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists in Toledo who are accepting new clients and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your coverage details to confirm coverage for your specific plan. You can browse therapist bios, compare specialties and availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
