About My Clients
Stephanie’s ideal client is someone who is willing to come to session and put in the hard work that therapy requires. Her ideal client’s issues and needs would stem from something personal or even an external circumstance from outside of their lives. What matters here is having courage and how her clients decide to deal with those issues and needs, because life can throw curveballs. She she hopes to bring a sense of compassion, kindness, trust, and empathy when working with these clients.
My Background and Approach
Stephanie believes it’s important to recognize the courage it takes to come to therapy and challenge oneself. She specializes in eating disorders, disordered eating patterns, and body image issues. She also has strong clinical interest and knowledge of working with clients with histories of trauma and PTSD, substance use, domestic abuse/violence, and sexual abuse/violence. Stephanie works through a person centered lens and often integrate other types of therapy that she is skilled in when working with clients such as CBT, DBT, trauma focused, and narrative therapy, to help clients with their specific needs and goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I believe in empowering myself and others - which is one reason why I train in a martial arts called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). I have control over scary situations that once frightened and debilitated me. I was once a victim, but now I am an empowered survivor. I want to help end the stigma of mental illness, help others love their lives and their bodies, overcome trauma, and make a difference in the mental health world a holistic lens (treating the mind, body, and spirit). If you want to know more about how I can help you, send me a message. "My superpower is helping others find their superpower" - Eve Torres Gracie
