Getting to know Stephanie Peoples

Hi there, I'm Stephanie! My name is Stephanie Peoples, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I specialize in assisting clients in reaching their full potential and optimal health. I help clients manage mental health symptoms by providing coping tools and focusing on their capacity to grow and heal. My approach I meet clients where they are, using a person-centered approach. I also draw from the strengths perspective and incorporate CBT and DBT techniques in therapy. My focus I typically work with adolescents and adults facing persistent mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood management, grief, and trauma. I have experience supporting clients with suicidal ideations, self-harm behaviors, and postpartum-related symptoms. My communication style I’m usually happy and soft-spoken. I enjoy conversations that are raw and unfiltered. People often tell me I connect well with them and create a relaxed, comfortable space for sharing. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began in 2017 when I recognized the strong bias and negative stigma around therapy and mental health support in many communities. My goal has been to normalize therapy and show how it can be beneficial. I love this work because I’m motivated to learn and be challenged. My goals for you I believe in setting goals at the start of treatment by discussing what clients want to change or accomplish. My first session with you In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, relaxed, and stress-free environment. The goal is for you to share your story, be heard, and begin building rapport.
