Stephanie is such a kind and caring person. She has guided me through tough situations and helped me dive into my traumatic past to find mental clarity and understanding. I have learned so much from her when it comes to social situations and understanding how I have been carrying other people's emotions while thinking they were my own. She is the most amazing listener and has gifted me with the tools I need in order to deal with everyday situations in a healthy way. <3

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’ve been working with Stephanie now for several weeks and she’s awesome. She’s easy to talk to, she listens to everything I have to say and always has some sort of feedback. I’ve talked to other therapists in the past and all they wanted to do was listen to you but never had any feedback. Stephanie is engaging, she asks questions and she’s not afraid to tell you when you’re actually wrong or somebody that you love is wrong. And I think that’s the most important thing about therapy is understanding 2 sides, understanding each person is an individual and understanding that each person has a different thought process. Working with Stephanie has helped me not only to see how I look at things but how my family looks at things as well. I highly recommend Stephanie if you’re looking for someone who is smart, easy-going, engaging, not afraid to give feedback and gives you things to think about until the next session.

Stephanie is an excellent therapist. She's easy to speak with, sees the big picture and works towards the goals I'm looking to achieve. Being an excellent listener, she truly takes my concerns on board and works them in the direction I need them to. Her feedback is honest, truthful, and what needs to be said as opposed to what I may want to hear. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for guidance, in my case, relationships.

Stephanie is supportive, kind and a good listener. She provides a safe environment for me in which to explore my feelings with her. She has also challenged me to look at things differently when needed and understands my goals of coming to therapy. I feel like she was a good match for my needs. I would highly recommend her as a therapist!!
