Stephanie Haywood, LCPC
About me
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling. I have more than 20 years experience counseling individuals, couples and families. I enjoy working with people toward meeting their goals and working through their painful experiences. I find that most people don't seek help when they first need it because they believe they can "do it themselves". We live in a DIY (do it yourself) kind of society but I believe God never meant for any of us to go it alone. I am a Christian and God has gifted me to do this kind of work. He led me to become educated in the field but my relationship with Him is what ultimately helps others get through their problems.
It takes courage to take the first step in asking for help, so you should be proud of yourself. I don't believe it's an accident that you reached out for help and got me.
I look forward to working with you.

Stephanie is great with understanding and providing faith based insight and encouragement! She has provided me tools to understanding and working through childhood traumas that surface in my adult years. She is so compassionate and is great at listening. Her encouragement for me to work through my pain is refreshing.

Stephanie is amazing. She really listens and remembers little details. Even on days when I don’t feel like talking, she helps improve my mood and mindset 100%. I’m thankful for her.
