Getting to know Ms Stephanie
Do you want a better day tomorrow than you had yesterday? Do you dread the alarm clock and wish you could just stay in bed? Do you worry about things you have no control over? Do you ask, ?Is this all there is to my life?? What happened to your dreams, your goals, your ?someday I'll be? I'll do? I'll have???
Hello, please call me Stephanie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and over 20 years in the helping profession. I love the Martial Arts for its discipline of the body, mind, and spirit. I believe everyone should learn some self-protection techniques for all aspects of life: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, and more. Wholeness is my personal ambition. My two favorite words are Peace and Hope. I also have a faithful trust in God. I am not in charge.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have a practical way of approaching challenges and believe it is our daily behavior choices that result in having a good day. Would you believe me if I told you your thoughts aren’t necessarily true? Let’s talk about it and figure out where you want to go. Let’s find those solutions to your puzzles. I get it, believe me, we’ve all been there.
Our sessions together will consist of identifying and exploring those barriers that have been holding you back and keeping you from functioning the way you’d like. I believe it takes action to get change. Our sessions will include journal writing and planning to get thoughts on paper.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
