Dr. Stephanie Rubain
Dr. Stephanie has over twenty-five years of counseling experience serving children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. She earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Howard University.
The therapeutic experience will be client-centered, collaborative, and empowering and my clients will walk away with a transformative and empowering experience.
She provides client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and affirming services in the quest to meet a client "where they are" and to support them on their journey to wellness and a life worth living. The aim is to empower each client to become the best version of self at home, at work, and in their relationships. Therapy with me will be a collaborative journey that fosters self-discovery, resilience, and positive change.
