Hi, my name is Stephanie Fuertes. I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York. I have experience working with adults from all walks of life who have dealt with life challenging transitions, stressful situations, emotional and behavioral problems, relationship problems, loss and trauma. My style is authentic, compassionate, and non-judgmental. My approaches are person centered, meaning I view you as the expert of your life, capable of change and achieving your goals; cognitive-behavioral, meaning I will help you understand how certain thinking patterns shape the way you view yourself, others and your world; and trauma-informed meaning that together we can gain an understanding of why you are who you are today. I am here to support you on this journey.
