“Working with Stephanie has made me feel confident I can build the support system I need to navigate life. Having gone through a lot of hardship, I knew I needed someone to talk to about how my PTSD nd depression symptoms affect me. From our first and second meetings, I immediately felt the compassion, kindness, and open-mindedness I felt I needed for my treatment. Although there were some complications in setting up the first meeting due to my insurance, it was well worth the wait. And I don’t hold that complication against this practice at all - Adriane was very helpful and communicative throughout the process. Stephanie is a gem, and I’m so grateful to be in her care.”

Getting to know Stephanie Caruso-Frisinger

At Therapeutic Connections our mission is to enhance the lives of all persons served in a positive way in preparation for the future. Our vision is to provide comprehensive mental health services that positively impact individuals, families, and organizations through compassion, professionalism, and partnerships.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I enjoy working with adults, children, and families and have extensive experience in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, women’s issues, intimate partner violence, and substance use issues. I am skilled at working with families to address parenting challenges and am trained in Play Therapy. For families with teens and young adults, my experience includes challenges with social skills, managing anger, and resolving conflict. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your hopes for therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I believe that every individual possesses an innate capacity for resilience and personal growth. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals and families to find solutions to everyday problems, as well as those that may be associated with past experiences and relationships. Rather than primarily focusing on challenges, we will work collaboratively to mobilize your unique strengths and abilities to lead a more fulfilling and resilient life.
