I am Stephanie Durso, LCSW, a graduate of Fordham University specializing in assisting clients in identifying and expressing their feelings in an effective and healthy manner. My focus is on encouraging the use of healthy coping strategies to enhance quality of life and relationships. I work with adolescents, and adults, guiding them to understand themselves more intimately and leverage their strengths to effect positive life changes.
