Hello and congratulations on taking this courageous and hopeful step toward wholeness. My name is Stephanie Risinger and I'm a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist. Don't let the title fool you! Most of my work is with individuals. Being a marriage and family therapist simply means I have a specialized understanding of how our personal struggles and mental health challenges can affect relationships.
I have 13 years of clinical experience in working with a wide range of concerns and mental health challenges. Examples include (but not limited to) grief/loss, life changes, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, infertility, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and co-dependency. I received my Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University in 2009. In addition, I served as an adjunct professor of psychology for five years at California Baptist University and has been a featured speaker at numerous community events, organizational meetings, trainings, and retreats.
I look forward to connecting with you.

Stephanie has been very helpful so far I’m my journey ok BetterHelp. He responds in a timely manner and has too insight into the issues I am working through. She offers good worksheets and exercises for me to ponder my own thoughts and provoke conversation in our session that can bring about really concrete active change.

Stephanie has been great in helping me deal with depression and the loss of a best friend. I feel very comfortable talking to her and I find myself opening up more each time.
