As of August 2025, Dr. Stephanie is accepting a limited number of new therapy clients.
Therapy Services
Adult Individual Therapy
Ages 18+.
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly individual sessions for adults.
Typically 50 minutes.
I partner with you to help make the changes you want in your life. Your experience and priorities are centered in our work together. I help you navigate how to thrive in an ableist world. The majority of my clients have overlapping neurodivergent identities (e.g., ADHD, Autism, OCD).
Child Individual Therapy
Ages 5-18.
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly individual sessions.
Typically 30-45 minutes
+ parent consult 10-20 minutes.
I aim to honor your child’s needs while empowering parents with skills to manage challenges. I often include some degree of play therapy as part of child treatment for children ages 5-11. I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ youth.
Family Therapy
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly combined sessions. Can be filial (parent-child) or whole family.
Typically 60-90 minutes.
I serve and celebrate all families. I understand that families may consist of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, neurodivergence, and cultural beliefs. I specialize in working with single parent, blended, foster, adoptive, and mixed documentation status families.

Theoretical Orientations & Evidence-Based Interventions
I combine evidence-based interventions into individualized treatment plans for you, your child, and/or your family. I am person-, child-, and family-centered. This means I collaborate with you at the beginning of therapy to determine your goals and consistently check in with you to be sure we’re meeting your needs. I also acknowledge the problematic history of psychological and medical interventions, particularly when serving neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and/or non-White individuals.

Fees
Overview
Fees range by service and client need. I reserve a limited number of sliding scale appointments to enable access to all clients, regardless of ability to pay.
Intake session (80-90 min): $360
Full individual therapy session (45-50 min): $300
Short individual therapy session (30 min or less): $170
Family therapy session (70-80 min): $360
Frequency and length of sessions vary by client need. Typically, most clients begin with weekly sessions and transition to less frequent (biweekly, monthly) or shorter duration (25 min) as they begin to require less support. Some clients prefer more frequent but shorter sessions.

I provide superbills upon request that you may submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. Please consult with your insurance provider for more information about your policy. Learn more about out-of-network therapy services here.
