About My Clients

I believe in the interactive and exploratory nature of the therapeutic process. I offer highly individualized and tailored supports through a solution-focused and client-centered process. My background training and career trajectory has been focused within the domains of child, adolescent, and young adult psychotherapy through both individual and family-centered support.

My Background and Approach

Often my approach is to provide interventions at the relational level to build exceptional therapeutic rapport that seeks to model healthy relationships in order to provide corrective feedback necessary to improve and grow within the domains of social & interpersonal functioning, life skills, health, and general well-being. Like a beacon of light in the dark, together, we can safely navigate the process of making real, long-lasting, and positive change.

A native of Fairfield County, Stephan graduated with a BA in Psychology from the University of Connecticut and received his Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Bridgeport.
