Stephanie Young, LMHC, LCMHC

Stephanie Young is a licensed counselor based in Salt Lake with 13 years of clinical experience. She holds the credentials LMHC and LCMHC - both designations that indicate licensure to provide mental health counseling. Her academic background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Southern Utah University and a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from La Salle University.

Much of Stephanie's post-master's career has focused on addiction and dual diagnosis work, which frequently involves addressing overlapping issues such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. She has also worked extensively in marriage and family counseling and supports clients in building practical life skills and improving communication patterns within relationships and families.

Clinically, Stephanie favors approaches rooted in client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques, and she also integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when appropriate. While she emphasizes behavior-oriented strategies, she places equal importance on forming a strong therapeutic relationship - believing that connection with a therapist helps people feel ready to change. Stephanie combines direct, challenge-oriented feedback with creative interventions to make therapy engaging and to support meaningful progress.
