Stephanie Jara

I'm an LCSW in NY, FL, TX, and AL. My focus is trauma informed care and I practice with the intention of healing by identifying your strengths, in partnership with evidence-based methods of healing. I am trained/have experience in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and faith based counseling.

I want to offer a space where you feel safe enough to share your experiences. Free of judgment, a space to be heard and where your emotions are validated. Because while emotions may not always be a true reflection of reality, they are true to us. I believe that we have what we need to heal and together we can find that strength to overcome the hardships of life and learn better ways to hold our emotions.

I want to help you get to a point where you realize this does not have to be your life and while we cannot take away or change life circumstances, we can learn to find better ways to adapt to the changes. We can learn to know ourselves better, our triggers, and what works for us. Healing is not easy or linear, everyone’s journey is unique and at their own pace. I see you as the expert of your life and my role is a mediator in your journey.
