Stephanie believes therapy can be a space to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and develop a deeper understanding of what our minds and bodies are communicating. She creates a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients can feel seen, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences at a pace that feels safe and authentic. Stephanie recognizes that healing can happen in many different ways and believes therapy can include talking, playing, moving, breathing, reflecting, and discovering what helps each person feel more grounded and connected. Stephanie is rostered in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), where she supports young children and their caregivers in strengthening connection, attachment, emotional regulation, and relational safety. She understands the importance of relationships in a child's emotional development and works collaboratively with caregivers to help create greater safety, understanding, and connection within the parent-child relationship. When working with children, Stephanie incorporates developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques, recognizing that play is a natural and meaningful way children communicate, process experiences, build emotional awareness, and make sense of the world around them. Stephanie also incorporates movement and somatic approaches into her work, recognizing that emotions and experiences are often held and expressed through the body. She helps clients develop greater awareness of their bodies and nervous systems while exploring the connection between physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. When appropriate, she may incorporate gentle movement, breath work, and body-awareness practices into sessions as tools for grounding, regulation, and self-exploration. As part of her continued professional development, Stephanie is pursuing certifications in breath work and Pilates, which complement her holistic approach to mental health and interest in the relationship between physical and emotional well-being. These practices can offer clients additional ways to connect with themselves, build awareness, and develop skills for managing stress and navigating difficult emotions. Stephanie thoughtfully considers each client's individual needs, strengths, and goals when determining which approaches may best support their therapeutic process. Stephanie's approach is compassionate, integrative, and collaborative. She believes each person's experiences, relationships, body, and nervous system are unique, and she strives to create a therapeutic space where clients can explore without judgment. Whether through conversation, play, movement, breath, or reflection, Stephanie helps clients develop greater insight and practical tools for feeling more regulated, connected, and confident in themselves. Her goal is to help clients build a stronger relationship with themselves and the people around them. Stephanie believes meaningful change can begin with slowing down, becoming curious about what the mind and body are communicating, and discovering new ways to feel safe, grounded, and connected.

Katya is a counseling intern who is passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds and communities. She believes therapy begins with compassion, empathy, and creating a space where clients feel safe to show up as their authentic selves. Katya takes an integrative, client-centered approach, meeting each person where they are in their journey and tailoring therapy to their individual needs, experiences, strengths, and goals. Katya believes healing cannot be separated from culture, identity, relationships, and the systemic factors that can shape a person's experiences. She is particularly interested in liberation psychology and exploring how the human experience, social systems, and lived experiences can influence the ways individuals understand themselves and respond to the world around them. Katya works to help clients develop greater awareness of these influences while exploring the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may contribute to feeling stuck, disconnected, or dysregulated. Katya is also interested in the connection between the mind and body and how experiences can show up physically. She uses a curious and compassionate approach to helping clients notice their body's signals and recognize physical responses to stress and emotion, such as changes in breathing, muscle tension, or holding tension in the shoulders. By increasing awareness of these responses, Katya helps clients explore what their bodies may be communicating and develop a deeper understanding of the connection between emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and physical experiences. When working with children, Katya incorporates developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques and recognizes the importance of creating an environment where children can communicate and process experiences in ways that feel natural to them. She is passionate about working with clients across the lifespan and hopes to support children, adults, couples, and families as they navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop greater self-understanding. Katya is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Counseling and is committed to continued learning and professional development. She has a particular interest in somatic therapy and hopes to pursue additional training in EMDR as she continues to grow as a clinician. Her integrative approach allows her to draw from different therapeutic perspectives while remaining attentive to what feels most supportive and meaningful for each client. Katya's goal is to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in authenticity, curiosity, compassion, and respect. She believes meaningful healing begins with understanding ourselves more deeply and recognizing that our responses often have roots in our experiences. By creating space to slow down, notice, and explore these patterns without judgment, Katya supports clients in developing greater awareness, connection, and a stronger sense of agency in their lives.
