I am Licensed Clinical Social worker with 20+ years experience in California. I attended California State University, Sacramento for my Masters in Social Work and received my B.A in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. I left Texas in 1990 and have been in California since then.
I absolutely enjoy what I do and look forward to helping you manage
challenges that you may be experiencing, Modern society can be overwhelming and finding a supportive voice can be the thing that is needed to get you through those uncomfortable and hard times.
I help clients deal with stress and anxiety using the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy. Stress lives in our nervous system, so a big part of my practice incorporates somatic breath work in addition to exploring how your thoughts influence your feelings and behavior. I also have experience working with self esteem and confidence issues.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
When I am not working I enjoy walking my dog in the park, practicing hot yoga and cooking.
Additional areas of focus: Isolation / loneliness, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Social anxiety and phobia

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Collins. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Stephanie takes the time to listen, understand and take notes. She offers great guidance and helpful worksheets. From the first session with her, she was a big help. I have been dealing with anxiety alone for years and having Stephanie guide me has been a huge help.
