Welcome! I'm Stephanie Freeman,MSW, LCSW, LCAS.

I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

SHE'S KIND. SHE TALKS ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. I'M IN AN ABUSE LIVING SITUATION with a man trying to separate. She's trying to work with me. I like her. She's nice. She listens, and I love how she takes notes in sessions. She asks questions to figure out the situation. I pray we can continue!

Mrs. Freeman is very supportive and caring. I have felt more like myself in the two sessions that we have had so far, than I have in a long time!

Just had my first session with Stephanie and it was great. I can tell she is very authentic and understanding and truly wants to listen, and help provide solutions/for how I can be the best version of myself. Looking forward to the next sessions!
