Person centered psychotherapy is based on the importance of unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathy in the therapeutic relationship. Your therapist is not there to judge you, but to guide you in insight with compassion ๐ค๐ผ

There is a difference in logically knowing something, and embodying an understanding of it. Itโs often a difference that can cause a lot of frustration in therapy and in life. Be easy with yourselves and know that, especially for adults, it can take time to fully embody the insight that you gain. Hereโs a new favorite video of mine, the backwards brain bicycle, that demonstrates just this! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MFzDaBzBlL0&vl=en

To everyone struggling with loss this holiday season, I see you.
How your brain copes with grief, and why it takes time to heal Grieving is a form of learning, says a scientist who studies the brain's response to loss. When someone you love dies, you have to learn new rules for navigating the world and your brain has to adapt.

See if you can start to put some words to that physical sensation youโve been carrying around. Taking care of ourselves sometimes looks like getting out of our thoughts and into a sense of what our body needs. Letโs trying honoring and nourishing those physical feelings that donโt always get attention!

While the holidays can be wonderful times to gather with friends and family, they can also feel frustrating and exhausting. Check in with yourself and your core values when things are feeling off. Itโs ok to say no to an event, take time to yourself, and make space for what reenergizes you. You can still be a loving friend, parent, child etcโฆ and honor your own need for limits.

Take a few seconds to get out of your thoughts and check in with your senses, sometimes all we need is a little nudge to reorient to the present. One simple exercise that can help with this is naming to yourself five things you see, four things you feel, three things you hear, two things you smell and one you taste.

There is no greater reminder for me that growth is not linear than the changing of the seasons. I absolutely love this time of year and the new perspectives we gain when we can see the horizon through the trees. I hope we can all use this beautiful, cooling weather to notice our own seasons of change and extend some gratitude to the parts of ourselves that have gotten us this far!

I love core values and authenticity work, and was so excited to come across Ikigai today! This is a Japanese concept that focuses on finding your โreason for beingโ. I am loving the way Ikigai emphasizes your profession being a part of a full life, but not the entirety of your identity. It is so American that the first thing we ask new people we meet is, โWhat do you do?โ. Has anyone heard of or tried this model before? You start from the outer rings and work your way inward. Let me know what you think!

Make some space this weekend to set aside productivity and the never ending to do list. Rest is the way your body can reset your nervous system, allowing for a physical release of tension. It is not only ok to rest, your body needs it. What does rest look like for you in the days ahead?

Dissociation is our minds way of fragmenting so we can keep moving forward. It can show up in a variety of ways to help protect us from overwhelm. Engaging in EMDR therapy involves screening for dissociation and understanding more about the role it plays in your life before you start to reprocess traumatic memories.

The gift of books from my spouse, he knows me so well! I love the movie the Shining but have never read the book. Which is unusual for me, I almost always like the book better! Iโve been listening to a podcast called โYou are Goodโ that explores father figures and relationships in film, and it inspired me to want to read The Shining which apparently features a very different kind of Jack Torrence. Check out for more exploration of fatherhood and fathers in film!

Play comes so easily for children that it seems almost automatic. By the time we have reached adulthood, so many of us are socialized to equate self worth with productivity that figuring out what adult recess looks like can even be anxiety provoking. โPlay is something done for its own sakeโ, โIt's voluntary, it's pleasurable, it offers a sense of engagement, it takes you out of time. And the act itself is more important than the outcome." Dr Stuart Brown - National Institute for Play. Adults who engage in play benefit by staying present in the moment, they experience calming effects biologically, and they may continue to have sharper skills as they age. From soccer leagues to board game nights, how can you make play a part of your life this week?

Hello, Iโm Stephanie. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have had the extraordinary privilege of practicing for fourteen years now. I am originally from Connecticut and received both my bachelorโs and masterโs degrees in social work from New York University. I relocated to Atlanta in 2010, and it has now become my home. I love raising a family here and the access to green spaces all around us.
In a calm and comforting environment, we will dig deep to identify your feelings, examine how the patterns in your life may or may not serve you, and reinforce coping strategies that work for you. With your history and what you carry with you informing us, we will rely on our interactions in the therapy session to help us access and begin to repair the pain you are feeling. We will use the safe space of our relationship to practice authentic self-expression with confidence and improve how you relate to the people in your life.
Many of my clients have experienced trauma or loss. Some are impacted by a chronic illness or a disability. Some may be parents, caregivers or medical professionals tasked not just with carrying their own suffering but bearing witness to the suffering of those around them. Many of my clients are managing a major life transition, are in need of parenting support, or are struggling with anxiety or depression. Underlying these concerns often lays difficulty with communication or maintaining relationships. I extend to them an opportunity to be seen, heard, and understood, and would like to offer you the same.
The majority of my clinical experience has been working with children, and primarily their adult caregivers, in the pediatric medical setting. I previously worked at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and for the last ten years I have been employed at Childrenโs Healthcare of Atlanta, currently serving as the evening/weekend lead social worker for the Egleston campus. In addition to clinical practice, I was also the primary investigator of a grant-funded research project and was honored to receive the ExCEL in Social Work: Excellence in Cancer Education and Leadership award. I have also been privileged to be a guest lecturer at Emory University, training nursing students about how to best interact with trauma and intensive care patients and families. My other areas of practice have included foster care prevention, school social work, and working with the elderly population.
