Hello there!
You have made an awesome first step in creating change in your life! Remember, the fact that you are even searching for ideas for help in your life means you've already started the process towards healing!
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio with 35 years of experience. I received my BA in Psychology in 1990 and my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy in 1992 . And then received my clinical licensure in 1992 as well. I began my career counseling in the first Home Based Therapy program. As a young 23 year old therapist working with people in their homes is where I learned invaluable experiences that I could have never learned in an office. In those early years, I had the opportunity in the grass roots settings of client's homes to learned the art of therapy. As well, I learned the lessons of humility, and non judgemental assumptions about people and the wonderful privilege to do therapy right in the midst of the issues as they were taking place. I then began working with individuals in oupatient settings and then into group practices and then finally these last 23 years I have owned my own private practice. Having my own small practice has allowed me to help clients not feel like a number, or a diagnosis. My goal in therapy is to create a warm, connected environment that is not stale or dry. I truly have a passion to hear each client's story and to begin to help them rewrite some of that story that is causing issues.
My training in Family Systems Theory has helped me shape the way in which I view each individual. When I am working with someone I take a holistic view of them. I look at all the parts of their life, from the family they grew up in, to current relationships and situations, as well the presenting symptoms and life experiences.
This helps me develop a customized approach of techniques in working with them. I may use multiple counseling approaches during my time with a client to give them the most opportunities for change!
I have been married for 32 years and have 3 children. We have learned that marriage and raising a family is hard but is also most rewording. I have much life experience that I can relate and draw from in connecting with people. None of us need to feel alone or stigmatized for going through a struggle! Everyone needs a tune up now and then to be our best!
I look forward to walking alongside you! Feel free to connect and ask any questions !
Warmly,
Stephanie Furgiuele LPCC
