Stephanie Wachter

Hello there! My name is Stephanie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works hard to help clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable. Whether struggling with emotional overwhelm, self-harm, anxiety or life transitions, I aim to meet my client where they are at with patience, consistency, and compassion. We will build trust, create short-term and long-term goals, and I will encourage you every step of the way. My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and focused on helping clients build confidence and resiliency.

I approach therapy through building a trusting relationship, focusing on what the client desires to change, and encouraging the client to be their best self.

With a younger child, I join my clients on the floor and have a wide array of toys and games to connect with the child and play with them. With my pre-teen, teen, and young adults I focus on relationship building and gaining trust to assist with the goals that we set. I treat all my clients with respect to reflect the innate worth I believe that every individual holds.

The first session is really about getting to know you and helping you feel comfortable. We will discuss what is bringing you into counseling, and what you hope to get out of the process. I know opening up to someone new can be intimating. There's no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is to have clients leave feeling heard, supported, and comfortable to continue working with me. I always will give my clients space to decide if they think I am a good fit for them. I don't take this work lightly and am incredibly humbled by getting to hear your story.
