Hello, I'm Dr. Steffanie. Do you feel like you have no one to talk to? Do your friends and family have a hard time understanding you? Do you have trouble removing sad, negative thoughts from your mind? Are you on edge and find that everything bothers you? Do you have a past that you want to process? Are you experiencing Christian-related concerns? If you answered yes to any of the above, I'm here to walk this path with you in individual therapy. I utilize an eclectic, relational/psychodynamic approach during individual psychotherapy. I will assist you with getting to the root of the problem that has your present life in turmoil. We'll work together to find effective solutions and ways to cope with negative thoughts and feelings, friends, family, co-workers, and everyday life. You are here for a reason. You are not alone. My particular approach works well with clients who need to be seen weekly and not on a drop-in basis. Additionally, my approach does not work well with addiction challenges, substance use/abuse, and pain management challenges. Please choose another provider if you are looking for assistance with those challenges. If you are seeking someone to sign off on FMLA, EDD, SSI, Emotional Support Animal, time off work, Leave of Absence, accommodations, housing, ETC., I will refer you to your medical doctor and/or provider who you meet with in person. It is my policy not to write letters nor sign off on the above mentioned documents nor document similar to the above. ***Please complete and submit the Intake Paperwork 24 hours before your scheduled session. Please schedule yourself on the top of an hour (i.e. 3pm, 4pm, 5pm). I cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30pm, 4:30pm, 5:30pm).

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. You will need to be an active participant in discussing your ongoing challenges. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a MA and PsyD in clinical psychology from Azusa Pacific University. I completed my BA in psychology at California State University, Long Beach. I have over 25 years in the mental health field. I am an attentive, insightful, caring individual therapist who frequently uses metaphors. I believe everyone is valuable and worthy of connection. Mistakes are not the end-all. They are road maps that show you what your challenges are. I assist clients with examining their dreams for personal meaning. I also assist clients with processing past traumas (abandonment, sexual abuse, a victim of violence, grief/loss, domestic violence, etc.) to have a more enjoyable present and future with family and friends. Please schedule yourself on the top of an hour and complete the intake paperwork.
