Getting to know Stephanie Reed

Hi there, I'm Stephanie! I have been in the field of mental health and substance abuse for almost 30 years. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for people to express themselves and discuss their struggles. Welcome, and thank you for viewing my profile. I look forward to working with you! My approach I am trained in CBT, DBT, Crisis Intervention, Peer Support, and CISM. I have worked with First Responders for 14 years. I am acutely aware of the stress of the world today, and bring life and work experiences to the table. Most importantly, I believe in "meeting you where you're at!!" My focus I work with adults of all ages. I prefer a one-on-one session. I am comfortable assisting persons with depression, anxiety, crisis intervention, persons with a suicidal history, grief, and substance abuse. I am more comfortable working with First Responders, but would never turn away a person with needs. Everyone needs support and someone to listen. My communication style I am generally straightforward, but not in a critical way. I prefer honesty, so we can build a successful therapeutic relationship. I incorporate humor, but only when appropriate. I want clients to be comfortable, safe, and able to express their feelings. My journey to mental healthcare I have been in the field for close to 30 years. I recognize people are struggling and life is difficult. And then there are the day-to-day pieces! I want to listen and determine how I can lessen the struggle. What drives me is people do get better! You are not defined by your past. I love to see people grow and begin to love themselves. It is an honor and a great motivator! My goals for you It is perfectly acceptable to start a goal setting in the first meeting. I believe in allowing the client to choose the direction of the sessions. However, as we get to know each other better, goals will change and grow. It is an ongoing fluid process.
