Stephanie is great to work with. I have had many counselors in my lifetime and I can say that Stephanie listens and understands really well. She knows when to interrupt and when to just listen. I found our interaction to be positive and helpful and wouldn't hesitate working with her again.

Stephanie has helped me so much in the past few months. I am discovering new ways of looking at things and managing stress, past issues and a disorganized nervous system. She's kind and also points out things I need to see. She has an impressive background which has helped me with many of my own issues as well as dealing with family. I will forever credit her with helping me to finally understand and implement good boundaries! I also enjoy her weekly blasts and some of the worksheets she has provided. One of the best I have worked with!

Stephanie is a very kind therapist. She’s truly empathetic and really listens. I feel safe to say anything that is on my mind without judgement and she gives in a return very insightful feedback. She helps me see perspective when I can’t seem to find it on my own.

I was extremely hesitant and skeptical about therapy through an app. I was afraid I wouldn't get the connection I could with an in-person therapist. Stephanie has exceeded my expectations and helped me navigate through the personal growth I'm trying to accomplish. Would absolutely recommend her.

I cannot overstate how much of a difference Stephanie has made in my life and my overall well being. She is a truly professional and unbiased voice of reason who guides me to develop a better understanding of myself and my relationships. She also has a very kind way of reminding me to be gentle with myself because I tend to be too self critical.

Since First session Stephanie has actively listened, responded quickly to questions, offers support 3x per week w/a message that contains quotes, journal prompts and affirmations.

She has a kind, soft, non-judgmental disposition. From the very first meeting, it was like I was talking to a friend that cared. Conversations are honest, eye-opening, but not overwhelming. When I had the thought of coming to therapy, this is exactly what kind of help I had in mind.

I highly recommend Stephanie as a therapist. She is sharp, caring and attentive. I've met with her 3 times so far and come away from each session more and more impressed.

Throughout my time on BetterHelp, I have been through 9 counselors trying to find one that met my needs and that showed compassion, empathy, and love. Stephanie has not only been a listening ear, but a facilitator to help me walk through life by teaching me how to trust myself. I cannot talk highly enough of Stephanie. She has helped me to dig deep to uncover the root cause behind each scenario and gave me tools to cope with them. I am so entirely grateful to have Stephanie in my life.

Stephanie has been a great counselor. She has a knack for finding the one ray of sunshine in my life and ends every session with showing me where I didn’t screw up. That is an innate talent that can’t be taught. She is a good listener and can hear what I have a hard time saying. Nothing freaks her- she stays professional and on target to help.
