Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lake Mary, FL

Hi, I’m Stephanie I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I work with adolescents and emerging adults (18-30) in navigating life transitions, increasing social connectedness, and breaking patterns that no longer serve them.

I have learned through personal life experiences that finding the right counselor is crucial to the healing process. I provide individual and family counseling to adults, adolescents, and children.

I graduated in 2010 with a Masters of Science in Counseling and am currently dual licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified School Counselor in the state of Florida.

I have been serving Orlando and surrounding areas in private practice for over 5 years after first gaining experience in residential crisis and substance abuse. I received my BS in psychology from UCF and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University in Deland!

Perhaps you are struggling in some way... finding it difficult to cope with stress or anxieties, experiencing barriers to engaging with others, fighting with your own spiraling thoughts or emotions? If you are hopeful that you have the potential to change. If you are seeking to explore other perspectives and challenge limiting patterns of thoughts or behaviors. If the prospect of growth, healing, adapting is appealing.... Welcome to Possibilities Counseling & Consultation

I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2016. I am a Florida licensed psychotherapist and have maintained a private practice for 17 years in Orlando and Winter Park. I have specialized training in the following: Clinical Trauma Professional and Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Qualified Clinical Supervisor. I am also a certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist through Integrative Psychiatry Institute, and MAPS.

Note: I do not currently accept EAP benefits.

I provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults. I specialize in caring for college students, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone seeking healing from difficult religious experiences. I seek to help my clients sort through past hurts, confront present challenges, and develop a greater sense of hope for the future.

Hi there! I am dedicated to meeting each client exactly where they are, inviting them to "come matter here." I view the therapeutic relationship as a powerful partnership, where safety, support, and respect come together to inspire meaningful change. I believe in the power of laughter and often weave humor into my sessions to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

I believe we were made for wholeness, connection, and purpose but live in a world in which we often experience fragmentation, isolation, and futility.

I am passionate about taking this journey with you through those experiences towards a life of freedom and courage. After 12 years of working in a variety of cross-cultural settings with people of different ages and backgrounds, I integrates my experiences with my counseling training to walk with teens, adults, and couples in this process.

My background in both education and counseling allows me to support clients with a blend of clinical insight, trauma‐informed care, and practical skill‐building. I currently serve as a facilitator with the Peace and Justice Institute and work as a contract therapist with Families First of Florida. I also have my own private practice named Here and Now Counseling Center. My clinical approach is grounded in compassion, cultural responsiveness, and evidence‐based practices tailored to each client’s needs.
