“I have seen Stephanie as I transitioned to Chicago from the south about 2 years ago. It is not an understatement to say she has been my rock in helping me move beyond relationship that no longer was serving me. It's not easy thing to put your complete faith in someone else's advice but with Stephanie, my faith was paid back twice over. If you are considering therapy, stop here and book.”

“I first heard of Stephanie when a friend of mine recommended her for Chicago based narcissistic abuse counseling. Stephanie has helped me identify the sources of trouble in my relationship and how to elevate my self-perception beyond how my ex thought of me. If you have similar concerns, I highly recommend Stephanie.”

Stephanie Lee and Mentella have been everything good therapy is about. It's hard to admit when you are potentially in an abusive relationship. It's even harder to step away and break the chain. I was able to break the chain with Stephanie's help and keep it broken! My life is mine again. I can't thank her enough!

Therapy has been an essential linchpin of my emotional wellbeing, and Stephanie Lee has been the architect in its design and function. She made me feel seen and at home on day one even when I was reluctant to share the extent of my relational trauma/abuse from a narcissistic partner. If you're looking for exceptional care, look no further.
