02 · In Stephanye's own words

What Stephanye says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, or relationship challenges keeping you from living the life you want? My goal is to help you understand the root of your struggles, develop healthier coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.

My path to counseling began after spending over a decade as a chiropractor. I noticed that many patients with chronic pain had also experienced significant trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress. Seeing the powerful connection between the mind and body inspired me to pursue my true passion-mental health counseling.

I work with adults, teens, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, life transitions, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I use evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience and reach their goals.

Healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Stephanye practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Stephanye's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Stephanye at this point.

2. Naming Stephanye specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Stephanye is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Stephanye.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Stephanye

Built from what Stephanye actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Stephanye's - Stephanye has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Stephanye's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Stephanye. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
