Kylie Stephenson

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and achieved my master's at New York University. Through experiences working with the Domestic Violence and Special Victims Unit in Brooklyn I have developed a strong trauma-informed approach while supporting individuals navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and self-discovery and processing elements of trauma experiences in a meaningful and empowering way. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and integrative, drawing from IFS, CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, and other evidence-based modalities. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and supported in creating meaningful change.

My approach to therapy is holistic, compassionate, and collaborative. I’m patient and empathetic while also being direct when clients need honest feedback or a gentle push outside their comfort zone. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and lighthearted, and I’m not afraid to use humor when appropriate. I work to understand the whole person, not just their symptoms, while helping clients build insight, strengthen their relationships, and create lasting, meaningful change.

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and heard. We’ll get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin identifying patterns or challenges you’d like to work through. I’ll explain how I approach therapy and we’ll collaboratively create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful to you. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, we’ll take it one step at a time.
