Stephanie is great. She pushes me to come up with the answers and solutions I need for problems I have while not spoon feeding me "her opinion on how to handle it". She makes me come up with the answer i am most comfortable with and has really helped me to grow as an individual and conquer my biggest challenges.

Stephanie helped me in the past but I'm going through a life roadbump and she's helping me right now

Stephanie always makes me feel heard and is so genuine in the advice she gives. Previous counselors I had before coming to Better Help made me feel like they were just outlining generic advice, where Stephanie always talks about me specifically, who I am, and my specific situation. She has taken the time to get to know me and what I value and helps to center me back on those personal goals. She is a huge reason why I am in the good mental place that I am today. Most importantly, I love the strategies that she gives me to navigate every day situations that I find challenging. We've been working together over a year and I'm so grateful for the growth she has helped me achieve.

Stephanie has been a great therapist for me. She's great at listening and offering options for how to deal with my problems and is just a really warm and friendly person and fun to talk to in general. I highly recommend Stephanie, especially if you're new to therapy like me - she'll hold your hand but also give you the tough truths you need to hear. Thanks so much!

I am extremely pleased with the progress I have made in my life, as a result of talking with Stephanie on a weekly basis, and texting with her over the past year! Well worth it!!!
