Getting to know Stephanie Garris

Hi there, I'm Stephanie! Hello, my name is Stephanie Garris, LCSW. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. I'm a therapist with a person-centered approach; I believe in setting small, achievable goals and taking baby steps in the right direction, which is determined by you! Whether you have depression, anxiety, or are just looking for some guidance, I'm happy to help you find healing and realize your full potential. My approach I believe the best work is done in a trusting therapeutic relationship. I use an eclectic mix of interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy approaches. I also apply principles from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in cases of anxiety, panic, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Additionally, I do grief work with adults who are childhood trauma survivors, focusing on healing the inner child and finding your inner adult. My focus I'm comfortable treating clients aged 13-55 with anxiety, OCD, depression, and adult survivors of childhood trauma. My communication style The environment in my room is light-hearted, come-as-you-are, and down to earth. I like to use humor in a therapeutic way but am serious and supportive when the situation calls for it. My journey to therapy I have been on my own healing journey and have found therapy to be incredibly helpful and beneficial in my life. I enjoy helping others and see it as part of a higher purpose for me. It is immensely rewarding to be part of a person's healing journey, which is why I love my job and the field of psychotherapy in general. My goals for you You lead the way in setting goals; I help you figure out how to get there and what skills we need to work on together to reach them. My first session with you The first session is a chance for us to see if there is a connection. I will learn about you and share how I can support you.
