Hi, I'm Stephanie Kapral, a licensed psychologist in Corning, NY. I work with adult, adolescent, and child clients with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety and stress, depression, relationship issues, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, interpersonal effectiveness, ADHD, and ASD. I've been in private practice since 2004 and strongly believe it's a privilege to help people navigate the challenges, transitions, and uncertainties that are part of being human! My goal is to provide exceptional psychological service in a manner that is collaborative and person-centered.

I am a Columbia University trained psychotherapist licensed and practicing in New Jersey and New York. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients in every age group from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds facing a wide variety of challenges. I've had the privilege of serving as a child advocate and crisis hotline operator for an emergency shelter serving survivors of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault. I have experience working in a hospital setting with children and families struggling to cope with chronic illness. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in the private practice setting for the past 6 years. I have a special sensitivity for adolescents and adults who have struggled with a dysfunctional family, codependency, abuse, neglect, self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse/self-medicating, disordered eating, their spiritual/religious beliefs, their sexuality, loss, and grief.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, community healthcare, education, and non-profit settings, I've had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and families through life's most challenging moments. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment where you can show up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, deepen self-awareness, and move toward a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have focused the majority of my career on youth and young adults. I love working with young people as they navigate the challenges of personality development, family relationships, and exploring their place in the world beyond the family. My clinical judgment and practice strategies are guided by over twenty years of work with a wide variety of clients and circumstances. As a social worker in a lively high school and a parent of two young adults, I am very comfortable building rapport with the full gamut of adolescent personalities.

I am very excited to support clients in all developmental life stages as they work through clinical and non-clinical issues. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief and loss, life and career transitions, relationships, parenting, family dynamics, and aging.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.

Hello and welcome! I am private practice therapist with LCSW licensure in the states of New York and Florida. I earned my Master in Science of Social Work from Columbia University in the City of New York with a focus in Advanced Clinical Practice. I have a background working with clients in urban, suburban and rural inpatient and outpatient mental health settings as well as schools and community agencies. I have worked with individuals from various walks of life facing a range of life events and mental health issues.
