Getting to know Stephanie Balbuena
Hello there!
Thank you for stopping by and taking the first step toward your self-improvement journey. I invite you to envision the best version of yourself , one who can navigate uncomfortable emotions, inner thoughts, and life challenges with strength and clarity. Together, we will work toward your personal breakthroughs, helping you find inner balance, growth, and renewed hope.
I have experience working with individuals facing:
• Stress and anxiety
• Low motivation
• Self-esteem & Boundaries
• Women's Issues
• Life transitions and career challenges
• Peer and relationship difficulties
• Depression
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I received my Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College and have been providing mental health services for the past seven years.
I am also a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) and have experience providing culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care. My therapeutic style is Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Eclectic. I believe that understanding the patterns beneath our emotions and relationships can help us find deeper healing and self-awareness. At the same time, I honor each person’s unique capacity for change, combining insight-oriented work with practical tools to foster self-empowerment and self-compassion.
Disclaimer: My practice does not include providing Emotional Support Animal letters or evaluations, custody evaluations, court-ordered treatment, worker’s compensation evaluations, disability evaluations, or FMLA paperwork.

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.
