I have had a few counselors and therapists in the past, but Stephanie outshines them all. She doesn’t come across as clinical and stiff. She is easy to talk to, easy to understand, and reads the situation well. You can tell she loves what she does, AND she’s good at it. I even had a panic attack during a session that she helped me through perfectly. That built a lot of trust that she has only built upon. I feel cared for and safe during our appointments, but not in a stagnant way. She is knowledgeable in the right ways to challenge clients. I’m finally seeing results I used to dream of. I’m glad I tried therapy again and didn’t give up. I simply wasn’t with the right therapist until now.

Stephanie is amazing at what she does. I feel comfortable in her care and she is great at helping me pinpoint what I need to work on.
