Getting to know Dr. Stephanie Buchanan

Hi, I'm Stephanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience providing guidance, support, and evidence-based interventions. I would consider myself to have a warm, open-minded, and empowering approach. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, followed by a Master's in Social Work and a Doctor of Social Work, both from Capella University Campus Center. I have worked in non-profit organizations and local county governments, including residential settings and community-based mental health. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself and to live a meaningful life. Taking the first step can be scary-I'm here to walk this journey with you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a trauma-focused expert specializing in EMDR and CPT treatment. Provided trauma-focused therapy to a diverse range of clients, including survivors of abuse, accidents, and natural disasters. I have developed and implemented trauma-informed treatment plans tailored to each client's unique needs. I acknowledge the challenges and difficulties that individuals face when dealing with trauma. I am here to support you through sensitive and compassionate communication to help build positive coping skills.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I often use Cognitive Therapies in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT and CPT we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to challenge those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
