Stepfanie Grisinger

Since childhood, I have believed in the human capacity for positive change. I have lived through my own struggles with family mental health and related trauma, which has helped to shape me into the person I am today. For this reason, I pursued the field of social work, as it allows me the opportunity to help others. I received my undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and my graduate degree from Stockton University. I have experience working in outpatient, in-home, and school settings.

My sessions are typically solution-focused and goal-oriented to assist those having difficulty organizing their thoughts, feelings, and actions. However, I always allow space for clients to guide the topic of conversation to focus on their individual needs in each session. I use a variety of different modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, to assist clients with moving toward their goals.

I strongly believe in meeting each client where they are in order to build a strong, supportive therapeutic alliance & help them achieve their goals. Our initial session will focus on the presenting issues, the development of the issues, and your goals for therapy. We will work together to create short-term, measurable goals that will allow us to see progress.
