Stefanie is everything I could have asked for in a counselor. From the first session, she saw me very clearly and pinpointed exactly what my over-arching immediate issue is/was. She is engaging, interactive and curious; and actually is reading a book I was impressed by and told her about! I will always come back to her. <3
