About Stephanie Carvajal

Hello, I’m Stephanie! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in South Florida and Infant Family Associate with over 5 years of experience working as a therapist in both the community and medical setting. I have experience in helping a wide range of populations with managing their concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, family dynamics, grief, and abuse.

My professional experience has allowed me to gain a wealth of knowledge on families and early childhood development in particular, leading to certifications such as the Nurturing Parenting Program Certification and the Infant Mental Health Endorsement. My career has also allowed me to gain experience in managing trauma and providing crisis intervention.

My therapy style is nurturing and interactive. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, crisis intervention, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I will work to ensure our sessions and treatment plan meet your unique and specific needs.

A fun fact about me? I love running! I also enjoy embarking on mission trips, and so far I’ve had the pleasure of serving in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua!

I applaud you for taking this first step towards reaching your goal. While the first steps towards a better tomorrow can often be the hardest, I look forward to working with you in meeting those goals in order to empower you in taking ownership of your tomorrow.
So, here’s to you!

“She is one of the sweetest women I’ve ever met and is very understanding of my feelings and has helped me in more ways I could imagine”

“Stephanie has been absolutely wonderful, so far I’ve only had 2 sessions with her and her teachings, wisdom and homework have truly pushed me to be a better me! After my first session, I made the comment to my husband that I wish I made this decision years ago but then it hit me, I would have never found Stephanie! This was the perfect timing and Stephanie being my therapist was meant to be! Thank you Stephanie!”
