I utilize a multidimensional approach when working with clients. At times, a combination of different psychotherapy approaches may be helpful. Treatment domains include self-esteem, anxiety, depression, self-harm and trauma. Creating a therapeutic alliance is an essential component of the therapeutic process. Establishing rapport provides grounds for meaningful engagement within all aspects of the treatment process. This type of therapy relies heavily on developing a strong relationship between client and clinician.

We all want to feel better from time to time. We get stuck, sad, scared, alone. And right now during these uncertain times, many of us are struggling. Well, there is good news!

My name is Stephanie Banning, and I am a licensed LMFT. I have spent the last 15y+ working with individuals struggling with addiction/recovery in a variety of capacities, including substance abuse and eating disorders. Due to the nature of my specialties, I have developed expertise in working with mood disorders and OCD. I believe in meeting an individual where they are at, and that trauma looks differently to everyone because you cannot see someone's mental health.

We are all in a collective period of transition, and change naturally brings up feelings of uncertainty and fear that can seem overwhelming and unmanageable. You do not have to face these feelings alone. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; I provide a safe space to feel, process, and integrate life experiences. I believe that the body should always be apart of talk therapy, and I use a variety of Somatic and Mindfulness practices to help my clients tune into themselves and discover their authenticity.

You’re exhausted. You’re spending a lot of your time and energy managing feelings that are “too big,” ruminating about the past, and worrying about the future. You are able to get stuff done when you’re feeling "good" and motivated; however, as soon as your energy shifts, everything instantly becomes so much harder. Put simply, your mood runs the show. You are attuned to the environment around you and are hypersensitive to others’ feelings and judgments; as a result, you avoid doing things that might disappoint others, even if it’s at the expense of your own needs. You sometimes feel lonely, even when you are with other people.
