“Dr. Vassallo Is amazing. I came into therapy very nervous and unsure due to past experiences with ineffective therapists. Dr. Vassallo makes my sessions feel like I’m talking with a friend but she always provides amazing feedback and advice. Since starting sessions with her I feel more in control of my life.”

“I have never felt so comfortable with a therapist in my life, and I am only a few sessions in. I feel so seen and heard. Stephanie models compassion, acceptance, and kindness and makes me believe that I can eventually give myself those things, too. She understands ADHD and anxiety very well and how it manifests differently for each individual.
She’s also open-minded about various treatment options: stimulants, non-stimulants, vitamins, plant medicine, and somatic and spiritual practices. I have mild substance use issues and she genuinely accepts me at this part of my journey - I feel comfortable enough to vape on video and just be myself. She is a safe space and I am SO grateful. I feel hope.”

Getting to know Stephanie Vassallo
I have worked in mental health for over 20 years. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Rider University in 1994 and my Master's in Social Work from Widener University in 1997. Since then, I have worked in various settings including the Behavioral Health System of Philadelphia, psychiatric units, detox and rehabs, college counseling centers, and assisted living/nursing facilities with older adults. In 2013, I started an in-person private practice and later transitioned to telehealth during the pandemic. I find telehealth more accessible and convenient for clients, and we are still able to do amazing work together!
Do you ever feel stuck? Like nobody understands what you are going through? Do you worry about burdening friends and family with your concerns, even though they love you? Do you have answers but no one is listening? You don't need a major mental health diagnosis to benefit from therapy. You might be navigating a life transition, struggling to communicate, surrounded by people with deeper issues affecting your mental health, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma. You might have disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or urges to use alcohol or drugs to self-medicate. You might be coping in unhealthy ways because that's how you learned. I can help you navigate wherever you are and support you in moving toward a healthier space where you feel happier and more in tune with yourself. People come to therapy for many reasons. With me, you will be in a judgment-free zone, and I will use my experience to help you get to a better place.
I work with anyone over 16 and have specialized experience with college-aged clients and older adults. I also have a long history of working with individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community. I look forward to meeting and connecting with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clients can expect to be heard and validated. They will always hear the truth and be encouraged to be true to themselves. My clients can also expect to laugh a little. We must laugh at some things in life to help with coping!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I always feel better after my sessions with Stephanie. She's been there to support my growth and I see the difference in myself.

Steph is FANTASTIC!! I’ve struggled in the past with therapists who wouldn’t listen to what I was saying and instead told me what my problems were, which were incorrect. But Steph is seriously amazing! She listens, offers helpful solutions, connects you to resources if need be, explains what could be happening, etc. Once I connected with her I never looked back :)

I couldn’t be happier with Stephanie. She makes me feel so validated and makes comments that i remember and go back to over and over again. I’ve gone through 3 therapists now to find the one and finally did with Stephanie!
