Welcome! I'm Stephanie Freeman,MSW, LCSW, LCAS. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

I am Liz Serens, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, ADHD, mood shifts, PTSD-related symptoms, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and emotionally attuned, rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where growth can flourish. I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, and Humanistic modalities to support clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful change. To support clarity and reduce distractions, I use Grow Therapy’s HIPAA- and PHI-compliant transcribe system. This secure tool is optional, but it is my preferred method. It helps me stay focused and present, especially when navigating executive functioning challenges. Many clients find the written record grounding and empowering, and it allows us to focus more fully on your story and goals. My clinical foundation was shaped early through lived experience. I grew up alongside my father, Dr. David Hartman, a psychiatrist and disability rights advocate whose memoir White Coat, White Cane chronicles his journey as the first blind physician to graduate medical school in the United States. Supporting his work and speaking publicly as a teen instilled in me a lifelong commitment to inclusive care and strengths-based advocacy. One of my father’s guiding beliefs continues to shape my work: “All of us are handicapped in some way.” It reminds me that every client carries invisible challenges. Healing begins when those challenges are met with dignity, respect, and in a non-judgmental environment. I may occasionally use constructive self-disclosure to support insight and trust. This is always done with intention, clear boundaries, and respect for your therapeutic goals. I also use secure tools to support accurate documentation and reduce cognitive load, especially when navigating executive functioning demands. Therapy should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Whether navigating neurodivergence or seeking a space to be heard, I am here with insight and respect.
