Hi! I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Arizona providing counseling to adults of all ages.
I am a straightforward and honest psychologist who prioritizes creating a comfortable and open environment for my patients. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, focusing on helping you explore different perspectives while encouraging honesty with yourself and with me.
I work best with individuals who are ready to engage in meaningful dialogue and are open to seeing things from various angles. Together, we can develop strategies that will help you navigate life's challenges and enhance your overall well-being.
On a personal note, I am a mom of two young children, a wife, and a devoted dog owner. I enjoy spending time gardening, being outdoors, and indulging in a good nap when I can. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to mental wellness.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Stephanie Nicolai. 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.
Dr Niolai has been very helpful during the few months we've worked on my problem areas. The balance of suggestions and online worksheets/homework has been ideal. As they say on Ebay, "Highly recommended!"
