Stephanie Hanneken

Stephanie Hanneken

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Scottsdale, AZ


Most therapists treat what’s happening in your mind. I also look at what’s happening in your body.

I believe our brain is arguably the most important organ in the body — it is the command center for everything else. So why do we not put more emphasis on its health, and the ripple effect it has on our body and our lives? This question is at the heart of everything I do.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-trained therapist, and Certified Personal Trainer. I graduated from Lindenwood University in Missouri with my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2012, and founded Inspire Change Counseling in 2014 with a vision of creating a truly integrative approach to mental health care — one where clients receive a multi-disciplinary scope of care, not just a referral for medication.

Wael Shadid

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


To anyone watching from the outside, you have it together. You execute, you deliver, and you keep moving forward. But beneath the surface, the engine never actually idles.

You live in a state of high-functioning exhaustion, navigating an internal friction where past stress, unresolved experiences, and relentless self-imposed standards quietly dictate how you operate. You’ve likely tried out-thinking the pressure, relying on sheer discipline, or pushing through the static, only to find yourself feeling disconnected from the very life and goals you’ve worked so hard to build.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Arizona State University and a Master’s in Counseling from Ottawa University, with a concentration in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and deprivation. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and addiction. I also have a focus in the support of medical professionals, lawyers, executives, and other high-performers. I'm fluent in English and Arabic, and provide a space where immigrant and first-generation clients feel deeply understood.
