Stephanie is amazing!! I’ve gone through so many therapists in a short time and I’ve stuck with Stephanie for over a year now. She’s so considerate and maintains complete professionalism while still being empathetic. I would recommend her to anyone who is just starting therapy and wants to comfortably ease their way in or someone who is far along in their journey and wants to find a thoughtful knowledgeable and relatable therapist.

I really appreciate working with Stephanie. She’s really sincere and has really helped me with practical ways of making changes — something I struggled to find with other therapists in the past.
Written on Feb 09, 2022 after therapy with Stephanie for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem, and relationship issues
Finding a therapist that I was comfortable enough to engage with was tricky and did not come easily for me but through contacting betterhelp I was able to locate a therapist that I could bare my soul to without judgment or scrutiny. My therapist was engaged and just me engaged long after our session had ended. When not 'in session' betterhelp offers multiple resources and links to enable personal growth and development in relationships I hold with others and that of the one I hold with myself. I felt heard, supported and most of all valued as I was. Damaged or well. The ONLY reason I was unable to continue our work and progress we made, is due to insurance jurisdiction coverage limitations placed on me. I highly recommend betterhelp and its services.

I struck gold with Stephanie!
She listens and understands your problems, doesn't judge and gives support when you're at your lowest point & time of need. She then builds you up, explains techniques to combat your challenges and keeps you on track every session so you don't slip back into your old ways. As with all therapy the real effort has to come from you, but if you put it in, Stephanie will make sure it's used in the best possible way.

Stephanie has been amazing so far. I had a counselor before her that i didnt really feel connected with me or remembered rhe things we talked about previously. I like that Stephanie takes notes and remembers things we were talking about and working on. Its still early in my therapy with her, but im finding her helpful already.

Stephanie is amazing. Very intuitive and can make sense of what I'm saying even if I feel like it doesn't make sense to me. She gets to the heart of the matter and is really good at understanding the fundamental issue and addressing that with actionable steps that I can take to improve my life. She's a great listener and a fantastic conversationalist with regards to conveying that she understands what you are saying and adding to the discourse with valuable knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend Stephanie, especially to those with high anxiety issues like myself.
