Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses. I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience. Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection. As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.

I am also trained as a qualified clinical supervisor for over 5 years. In my career, I generally function in the administrative side of behavioral health business but have a strong desire to practice the clinical base of my training and licensure. I began working as telehealth therapist in 2020 at the height of Covid-19 pandemic, when it became apparent there was a wide need to access mental health care.

Hello! Welcome I have been around since Fred Flinstone, (not really) but I am active and very committed to helping people meet their personal goals. I have been a clinical supervisor for years so hopefully, I do have some expertise! Fortunately, there have been many positive comments and outcomes with my work. This is highly satisfactory. Many years ago, my career in sales was successful but I chose to change fields to assist those in need. I live in sunny Florida with a husband, cats and dogs and volunteer at a dog rescue.
