The populations that I most enjoy working with are tweens, teens, and young adults (ages 11 - 25), as well as Mom's in their perinatal & postpartum journey. I love being able to work youth and adults through life transitions (going into middle/high school/college), struggles in communication, implementation of healthy boundaries, low self-worth, familial dysfunction, etc. Additionally, I have a huge passion for working besides Moms within their journey of motherhood and all of the internal and external transitions that this often includes. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

My name is Emily Stephenson and I enjoy working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. I bring a tailored approach to my clients and value my client's honesty and vulnerability in our sessions together. I find that vulnerability, although scary, is a key component to healing which I why I attempt to create a safe, inviting, and warm atmosphere in my therapy sessions. It is important to me that you feel as comfortable as you can during our time together so that we can move you closer toward your mental health goals.

Your child is having these big, unexpected emotional reactions and/or anxiety, and they've started yelling, hitting, stomping, slamming doors, and are inconsolable. Their reaction seems to be way out of proportion compared to the situation. You try to stay calm, validate their feelings, and use tools to help them calm down, but it just isn't working. These over-the-top emotions leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted, and defeated. You are desperately needing support in helping you and your child understand their emotions and learn how to handle day-to-day life more calmly.

I work with a variety of techniques with individuals who struggle with PTSD or Complex PTSD including Self-Compassion, Prolonged Exposure, and Somatic therapies.

Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or worrying about the future? Are you feeling emotionally or mentally disconnected with yourself or in your relationships?

Stress and trauma can leave us feeling disconnected in so many ways. As a Christian therapist specializing in trauma, I help clients understand the deep impacts of trauma, while also supporting them in rebuilding a healthy connection with their body, soul, and spirit.
