Stephanie Puerta

Hello, I’m Stephanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a diverse work and life history in helping individuals from various backgrounds. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from different populations and cultures across the country, which has broadened my understanding and approach to therapy.

I earned my degree at Temple University, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical social work and learned evidence-based approaches to support individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in in treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence and women's health and issues.

As an LCSW, my clinical approach integrates the Person in Environment perspective, a strengths-based framework, and principles from Eastern philosophy. I take a client-centered, holistic, and eclectic approach to meet clients where they are, supporting them on their unique healing journeys. By blending these approaches, I aim to create a safe and empowering space where clients can heal, grow, and build resilience.

Clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with resilience. Together, we’ll set goals focused on increasing self-awareness, improving coping skills, and fostering personal growth. Whether addressing anxiety, trauma, or relationship issues, we’ll create actionable steps for meaningful change.

I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore emotions and experiences at your own pace, feeling empowered and heard every step of the way. Additionally, I connect clients with resources in their community to further support their healing and growth.
