Hi, My name is Dr. Stephanie Sarkodie! I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 8 years experience. As a compassionate therapist, I provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. Together, we will work to unravel the root causes of your concerns, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience. Whether you're dealing with personal, emotional, or behavioral issues, I am dedicated to empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life. It takes great courage to seek help, and I'm here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
In our first session together, we'll go over brief introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My niche client population includes BIPOC women, young adults, adults, and older adults. My expertise lies in Couples Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Assessment, Identity Formation, ASD, and Grief. My greatest strengths as a provider include my empathic nature, active listening skills, and ability to create a productive working alliance.
I have extensive experience working with clients who are anxious or depressed, dealing with self-doubt, or struggling to make lasting change. I've worked with couples trying to repair or strengthen their relationship.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. In CBT, I collaborate with the individual to examine and reframe negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress or problematic behaviors.
With Person-Centered therapy, I create a non-directive and non-judgmental space for the client to explore their feelings and thoughts. The focus is on the client's subjective experience, and I refrain from imposing my interpretations or solutions.
With multicultural therapy, I strive to create a culturally affirming and inclusive environment. This involves being open to learning about diverse cultural perspectives, actively listening to clients' experiences, and integrating cultural factors into the therapeutic process.
Family therapy is an approach that focuses on the dynamics within a family system and how these dynamics contribute to individual and relational difficulties
