Hi, I’m Stephanie! It’s possible for you rise above life’s challenges and for you to live a fulfilling life! Past and present experiences can hinder us from moving forward. Life is always changing and as a result, it becomes too hard to find our way and manage life's challenges on our own. My areas of expertise are in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma reprocessing, Solution-Focused Therapy, person centered approach and more. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Master’s-Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with over 20 years of experience in individual, relationship, family, and group counseling. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Clinical Mental Health from Messiah College in Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Liberty University in Virginia. My professional affiliations include the American Counseling Association, the Florida Certification Board, the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and the Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society. I am also certified by Psychology Today. I am not just a professional counselor…I’m a human being! And I believe that each person is unique and important. My promise to anyone I counsel is that I will treat you like a person, not just a client

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

The first session is focused on getting to know each other. Time will be spent processing through what lead to counseling services and how I can be a service to you.

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

I have over 20 years of counseling experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I have worked in a variety of environments ranging from outpatient, inpatient and community setting. I am a human being and can relate to life's challenges.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with clients that have the self awareness that changes are needed to overcome life's difficulties. I love working with clients that want change so that they can live a more fulfilling life.
