I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is skilled in numerous modalities that includes both EMDR and sensorimotor therapies. My specialties go to the root of the problem and finds the silver thread or in therapeutic terms the neurobiological network that connects the negative beliefs inherent in all the trauma the patient experienced. In addition to my trauma training I earned my RPT (registered play therapist) and I have extensive knowledge of child development and counseling children and adolescents. I am willing to counsel adolescents online but children younger than 12 must be seen in person.

I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself and my clients, and as a critical part of the therapeutic process (I also take advantage of the healing power of laughter whenever possible!). I aim to normalize and validate my clients’ experiences without judgment, and above all, provide the most basic of human needs: to feel seen and heard.
Hi! My name is Stephanie (Stephanie or Stevie is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 4 years (prior to that, in person). I have a deep passion and respect for the power of therapy to change lives, which I have been privileged to witness in my work with clients, as well as in my personal life, both through the consistent use of therapy as part of my own self-care, as well as having spent the last 20 years raising two children with special needs. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by situations and events from your past. I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age. I frequently work with survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with issues related to self-worth, but work with other conditions as well.

I work primarily with young adults (college, 20-30 somethings) and adolescents through various life changes and transitions, that include relationships and social issues, academic stress, and significant life changes like new jobs or location changes. Significant change is a normal part of adolescence and young adulthood, but it can be a stressful and confusing time. I've also worked extensively with psychiatric issues such as phobias and OCD and have significant experience working with young people who were recently diagnosed with chronic illness or are experiencing health anxiety..
We will partner together each session to help you feel heard and supported, to explore practical solutions to make you feel more in control of your situation and to build cognitive skills that will increase your ability to feel calmer and to think more clearly.

"Hello, I'm a License Professional counselor based in New Jersey, and I have had the privilege of working as a mental health counselor for the past 17 years. Throughout my career, I have focused on providing support and empowerment to individuals facing a range of challenges in outpatient settings.
My journey in mental health began with a deep commitment to helping trauma and abuse victims find healing and reclaim their lives. Over the years, I have worked extensively with survivors, offering compassionate and evidence-based interventions to help them navigate their trauma and foster resilience.
In addition to trauma work, I have also been dedicated to serving individuals with a range of mental health struggles. One of the most rewarding aspects of my career has been witnessing the transformative power of mental health empowerment. I believe strongly in the importance of empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing journey, fostering a sense of agency, self-worth, and hope for the future.
My dedication to mental health empowerment extends beyond the therapy room. I am deeply involved in community outreach efforts, advocacy work, and initiatives aimed at destigmatizing mental health issues and promoting access to quality care for all.
I am excited to continue this journey of empowerment and impact, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on your own path to mental well-being.

I would never claim to be perfect or from an ideal family, marriage, or community. Things always come up and most of us are not (thankfully) exposed to the darker realities of life until we become adults. However, that is not the case for many. I am a Northeastern transplant from 2019. I have actively worked in the clinical space since 2015. As your provider, I love to assume a support role with clients, help you get through any situations you may be challenged with, and guide you towards resilience despite the circumstances. I have ADHD and was diagnosed later in life. I am trained and experienced in utilizing ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, PE, ERP, IFS, and CPT with clients. I love working with trauma (that sounds weird right? Therapists can be odd folks), ADHD/Autism, relationship issues with individuals and couples, family issues, adolescents, career counseling, and working with individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
