About Stephanie Young

Welcome!

Congrats on taking that step to begin your online therapy journey with us!! My name is Stephanie and I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor from Salt Lake. I received my Bachelor’s degree in psychology from scenic Southern Utah University (go T-birds!) and received my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from La Salle University in Philadelphia (Go birds again!).

The majority of my post-Master’s work Is with addiction and dual diagnosis so lots of depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I’ve also been heavily involved in marriage and family counseling as well as coaching life skills and effective communication.

I am very CBT and behavior-oriented but I also know connecting and having a good relationship with your therapist is key and my job Is to help you feel comfortable and ready for change. With that being said, a good therapist will also call you out on your challenges and hang-ups and that can be a difficult but very rewarding experience. I love getting creative with my therapy techniques and interventions because it makes therapy more fun and why couldn’t it be?

I wish the best of luck to you on this journey! You deserve it!!

“Stephanie has been not only a great mediator but an emotional interpreter between my husband and I. I would recommend anyone that is struggling with communication issues.”

“Stephanie is amazing! I appreciate her direct approach with me but still showing empathy and support when needed!”

“Stephanie is great!”

“Stephanie is an incredible counselor, and helped us with issues in our marriage that we had struggled with for years. Her care and expertise have helped us to slowly and steadily make changes in our relationship for the better. We thank Stephanie for her incredible ability to build rapport with her clients, and to hone in on the little things that ended up making a big difference for our entire family.”

“A wonderful human and therapist. Easy to talk to and connect with”

“Stephanie was the therapist I was looking for when I joined BetterHelp. She is attentive, timely, flexible with schedules, and always offers the best support. I have definitely benefitted from my sessions with her and would highly recommend her!”

“I’m so used to tough love, and sometimes it stops me from talking to certain people about how I feel. With Stephanie, she’s very kind and gentle with her words, but still gets her message across. She really helps me think and sit about how I’m feeling, and really understand why I’m feeling that way. She challenges my thought process in a healthy way. She is there for me whenever I need it, even on the weekends or at weird hours. Stephanie is amazing! This is the best experience I’ve had with therapy.”

“I have always struggled trying to find a therapist that truly listened and helped me until I met Stephanie. She makes me feel so comfortable and I truly feel better after our sessions. So happy we crossed paths!”

“Stephanie is like talking to a wise old aunt who gives you guidance and grace for actions and helps hold yourself accountable. She’s genuine and kind and can kick butt when needed.”

“Stephanie is great!”

“Stephanie offers excellent advice and tools”

“I have had an easy time opening up to Stephanie and I appreciate all the help I have gotten from her!”

“She is the best therapist I’ve ever had! It always feels like a safe space where I can be myself. She is also great at holding me accountable and keeping it real with me, respectfully!”

“Stephanie has helped to change my life for the better. She provided amazing tools and was there to chat when I needed someone to talk to. When I started therapy, I was in a very sad mental state. But now, I can happily say that I feel confident in myself and I can do anything I put my mind to. Thank you for everything Stephanie, it's been a pleasure.”

“Stephanie has helped me in such little time. Very insightful!”
