Welcome to Stem Wellness! My name is Stella Stempel, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Psychologist. In over 10 years of private practice, I worked with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is consistent, incremental change coupled with healthy thoughts that leads to a more satisfying life. Changing the way we act affects the way we feel and the way we view ourselves. When working with me, you are guided towards intentional living and healthy thought processes.

Hi! My name is Afia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an earned Masters degree from Central Connecticut State University. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector and have explored, incorporated and utilized many of the skills I gained from community and health settings to enhance myself as a therapist.

Sometimes life is hard...and sometimes, the word “hard” doesn't begin to cover it.

You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or simply tired of feeling the way you do. Maybe you know that experiences from your past are still affecting you today, or you find yourself repeating patterns you understand but can't seem to change. Other times, you may not know exactly what's wrong...you just know that something isn't working anymore.

Over the years, I've helped adults heal unresolved wounds from childhood, develop greater self-awareness and self-esteem, improve relationships, and make life-enhancing changes that allow them to feel more connected to themselves and the lives they want to live. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed.

I believe we all have the ability to grow and make meaningful changes in our lives. Sometimes we just need some help finding our strengths and figuring out what we need now.

Each of us has our own unique story and experiences. It's a privilege when someone chooses to share their story with me, and I'll meet you wherever you are in yours.

I’m Stephanie Jairam, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner. I help adults and adolescents navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, sleep difficulties, and other mood-related concerns. I also work with individuals experiencing PTSD, OCD, PMDD, and mood-related challenges. who are seeking supportive, effective treatment.

I offer thoughtful medication management alongside CBT-informed and supportive therapy strategies. Whether you’re seeking care for the first time or exploring a different approach, I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and being yourself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor. If someone in your life makes you feel guilty, confused, unloved, or stressed, I'm here to support you.

I work with courageous people healing from the trauma of toxic relationships and I assist them in developing assertive communication skills & unlocking the power behind setting healthy boundaries. Together, we can reclaim your self-worth and build a life filled with empowerment and resilience.

Starting therapy often means saying things out loud for the first time. You don't have to have the words ready — that's part of the work.

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions, including the particular strain of rebuilding a life in a new country, holding a family across borders, or carrying a loss that happened somewhere else.

Much of my career has been spent with people on the worst day of their lives. I responded to the 1999 Vargas disaster in Venezuela, and worked with Project Liberty in New York after 9/11, training paramedics, firefighters, and highway police along the way. You do not have to protect me from what happened to you.

I trained first as a psychologist in Venezuela and completed my master's in mental health counseling in New York. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Connecticut, a National Certified Counselor, and EMDR-certified.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Not translated — I work in both.
