I’m grateful for Stephanie Cook support, guidance, and care throughout our therapy sessions. her empathy, understanding, and genuine concern for my well-being have been invaluable to me during my journey of personal growth and healing.
From the very beginning, she created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up and exploring my thoughts and emotions. her active listening and insightful perspectives have helped me gain clarity and a deeper understanding of myself. Your gentle nudges and thoughtful questions have challenged me to confront my fears and unhelpful patterns, ultimately leading me towards positive change.
Beyond the professional realm, I appreciate her warmth and genuine care for my overall well-being. her encouragement and belief in my ability to overcome obstacles have been a source of strength and motivation.
Words cannot fully express how grateful I am for her dedication and commitment to my healing process. she played an instrumental role in helping me become a better version of myself, and for that, I will forever be thankful.

Stephanie has been super helpful and really helps me feel like I’m heard and helps me see things in a differently. I have learned a few things about myself, I wasn’t really aware of until a few weeks ago. I’m really grateful she is apart of my journey.

I appreciate the help in helping to coach me through this next stage in life with my mother's possible dementia or Alzheimer's. It's a bit overwhelming but having someone to definitely gets what's going on and how it plays on life's stress and emotions is just what I need right now.

Stephanie has been amazing.
She is very supportive and understanding of what I am saying during our sessions. She has checked in with me throughout the week to see if I need any additional support.
She has guided me to reach my goals and has been supportive when I have struggled and did not reach my goal.
Thank you Stephanie!

Written on Nov 30, 2022 after therapy with Stephanie for 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety
I've really enjoyed working with Stephanie. She's considerate and has made me feel heard throughout the experience. She helped me work through some thinking I've been doing re: family and relationships, and did so patiently and with reassurance. I sometimes struggle with feeling like my venting is just a burden, but she made me feel validated and OK to open up, which I really appreciate.
