LPC, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Stephanie Pitcher and I have been a counselor for over 15 years. I have two daughters who are currently teenagers. I have worked mostly as a school counselor in the high school and have been a counselor at the college level as well. My goal is to help people be their best selves. In my full time job as a school counselor, I help my students with a variety of issues related to academic, career and personal development. I have seen how therapy can help people learn how to cope with difficult situations. I am interested in doing therapy to help my clients overcome any challenges they are facing.
In our first session, I would like to get to know you. I would like to learn more your concerns. I want you to share at your pace. We will work together to develop goals and a personalized treatment plan.
I have a lot of compassion and emphathy for my clients and will listen without judgement. I have worked with a wide variety of people among different ages and helped them work thorugh a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, stress management, grief, and college and career planning. My biggest strength is building a relationship with my clients that supports growth.
I enjoy working with people of diverse backgrounds and ages. I am open to working with any clients who are open to therapy. I know life can be stressful and overwhelming at times. I would like to help give you the tools to preserve during those hard times and work at making changes. I think building resilience is important by taking care of yourself and focusing on what you can control.
I have used this type of treatment with my high school and college students individually and in groups. Thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all connected so trying to challenge our thoughts can help with improving feelings and behaviors. This type of treatment will help with problem solving skills and coping skills. It’s important to change unhealthy patterns so you can create change that will help you build resilience. It will also help with overall mindset with less anxiety.
