Stephanie Smith
"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, ” Christopher Robin. Hi there, I am Stephanie. Counseling can be a positive and life-changing experience. I strive to bring an effective blend of experience, expertise, and clarity to the counseling process in order to maximize outcomes and provide genuine healing and wholeness to individuals and families. It will be my honor to walk with you through your journey of healing.
Each session will consist of my assisting the client in developing strategies they can use to work toward achieving the goal(s) that are important to them.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with making brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.
Strengths
At the heart of my approach is establishing a therapeutic relationship. Establishing a therapeutic alliance is a key foundation with making progress in therapy. While engaging in therapy with me you can look forward to developing a stronger sense of self, enhanced emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the future. I look forward to walking with you on your journey of healing.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with an array of clients. My special interest are children and adolescents, young adults, and women.
Treatment methods
