About Stephanie
I’m a licensed therapist in New York with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, bringing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy.
My areas of expertise include addiction recovery, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem work. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, panic, relationship conflicts, grief from divorce and separation, and attachment patterns. I also support individuals who are struggling with executive functioning and task initiation.
I’m particularly skilled at addressing control issues, codependency, impulsivity, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. I work with individuals navigating blended family challenges, infidelity, and family-of-origin wounds. I also support neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and Asperger’s syndrome.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and centers on helping you build authentic self-love, improve communication, and discover your life’s purpose. I create a welcoming, affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a secular therapeutic experience.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. My role is to meet you with genuine care and curiosity, helping you heal and move toward the life you deserve.

- “I have been working with Stephanie for about a year now. The last 12 months of my life have been full of change, grief and loss. With that being said, therapy with Stephanie has offered me a place of safety, where I am fully supported. I wouldn’t have been able to navigate these life changes without her expertise and guidance. Stephanie offers a grounded perspective, and space for vulnerability. I truly can’t recommend her enough.”

She offers the right energy for sacred listening and practical guidance, through your lived experience you receive her wisdom. I’m still working on myself, as I always will do, and I’m blessed she is with me on my journey of the self.”

- “Stephanie H. Is very knowledgeable, in a broad range of topics. She has alot of useful resources, going so far as to share whole”
- “Stephanie has been my therapist since February 2025. In the time since, she has brought more clarity with each session I have with her. I have had only one other therapy session in my life. I wasn’t ready then, and that’s all the difference for me as well. When I joined BetterHelp I knew I was ready for the kind of internal work I needed in order to grow. Stephanie helps me navigate my life challenges with useful, practical tools. I encourage anyone to get therapy, and I highly recommend Stephanie to add to your mental health support, as you navigate your life journey as well. I will forever be grateful.”
- “I have spent about 6 months working with Stephanie. She has been present for a really challenging time in my life. Every week we work through my grief, and find ways to continue moving toward building the life that I want. Through this process, not only have we discussed present relationship dynamics and struggles/issues I’ve had, we have also been able to uncover some connections to childhood and are starting to work through that. It has been really helpful to see how experiences in childhood may be impacting my actions and decisions today. Stephanie has been an integral part of my journey, and I wouldn’t be where I am right now without her. If you’re having relationship issues or struggling to find your place in your own life, she offers really great perspective and guidance.”
