Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Deland, FL

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.

I’m a clinical and performance psychologist and executive coach, and I teach the emotional skills most of us were never taught. If you feel overwhelmed even though life looks “successful” on the outside, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are physicians, executives, athletes, business owners, and other high achievers navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship strain, or intense performance pressure. For over 25 years, I’ve helped people build emotional resilience, communicate more effectively, and develop practical tools that create real, lasting change—not just momentary relief.

Hi! I'm Stephanie. I offer individual therapy to adults struggling with anxiety, depression and chronic self judgment who tend to feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions and who are looking for support as they learn to manage their symptoms, reduce overwhelm and gain a sense of balance in their lives. I provide premarital counseling for couples preparing for marriage, and couples counseling for couples looking to improve their communication, cultivate deeper intimacy and overcome trust issues.
