Therapists in North Tonawanda, NY

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State State with 43 years of experience. I have worked with various issues including alcohol/substance use, PTSD/trauma, depression/anxiety, low self esteem, Veteran concerns and couple/relationship problems. I have worked with couples, families, and individuals providing them with treatments that include Adlerian, Attachment Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal, Jungian and Emotionally Focused Therapy. My treatment is to adapt my approach to the individual by selecting from these orientations that best fit their needs and concerns.

Every human has the answers that they seek deep within themselves. My job is simply to give you a safe space to help you navigate and uncover the solutions to problems or answers to questions that you subconsciously already have the answers to. After all, nobody knows you better than you! Together we will process the areas that you need support in as well identify strengths and appropriate coping skills to build up your ability to deal with life on life’s terms instead of resorting to old, negative coping skills that no longer serve a purpose in your life.

Are you feeling directionless and alone? Are you struggling with gender or sexual orientation? Are you feeling like an imposter in your life? Are you having difficulty managing your emotions? Are you experiencing trauma in your life? Have you arrived at a transformative moment but are unsure how to begin to make changes? I offer a safe place to explore the opportunities and challenges of this critical moment, identify a path forward that reflects your values, and begin experiencing a more integrated, congruent, and authentic life.

I enjoy helping individuals and couples utilize strengths as well as new skills to overcome personal challenges and relationship problems. I believe the relationships we have in our life can have a significant impact on our mental health and overall life satisfaction. Have relationships negatively affected your self-esteem, caused anxiety and depressed feelings, or opened your eyes to other concerns you would like to address? I can help you to find meaning in the difficulties you are facing, and learn to create satisfying relationships and outcomes that you want in your life.

I enjoy working with a variety of people.

We all have life problems that arise at some point, and it is rewarding to help a person change, grow, and become happier.

We've all heard the phrase "live your life to the fullest," but for many of us, that can seem like an impossible goal. Navigating our thoughts and feelings, exploring cognitive patterns, and understanding who we truly are can be a challenging and complex process.

By creating a space that is validating, non-judgmental, and compassionate, I help clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Do you need or want to change your life? It has been my privilege to have facilitated the recovery of many amazing and determined individuals who have been courageous enough to face the challenges of; "Who am I? Where do I belong?

Throughout the course of life, one is bound to combat various obstacles. With support and guidance, anyone can overcome these difficulties.

Life can throw you sudden and unexpected challenges. Stéphanie understands the difficulties surrounding change and the anxiety that occurs over an unknown future. The process of grief can be associated with any kind of loss: a job, relationship, the loss of a pet, or most painfully, a loved one. Stéphanie knows that the closing of one door may lead to the opening of another. You may not ever forget the loss, but she can help you to move forward. Stéphanie also has a passion for helping those experiencing depression, anxiety, and daily life challenges through her empathetic, open and non-judgmental kindness.

It can be really challenging to navigate an ever-changing world, especially if we enter each season struggling to carry the weight of the past.

Through this partnership, we aim to build your capacity to feel and deal with emotions in kind yet effective ways, and develop compassionate habits that can lead to self trust. In doing so, we can create more room for ease, meaning, and joy.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
