Stephanie Bain
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist -
I work with individuals who have been told they’re “too sensitive” or “too much,” have felt misunderstood, or feel alienated from the mainstream. I work with non-traditional families or partners looking for a therapist who “gets it.” You are not too intense, too much, too sensitive, too “out there.” The whole of you is welcome with me.
I am direct, warm, and engaging. I will challenge you and encourage you. I work using a psychodynamic, attachment-based, social justice and trauma-informed lens and integrate modalities like Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I tailor my approach to the individuals’ needs and goals.
We will increase awareness, break down unconscious patterns, build a greater understanding of yourself, heal and strengthen relationships, calm anxieties, communicate effectively. My job is to offer you tools and support and listen with a non-judgmental, affirming ear while we build trust. Still have questions? Email or text me to set up a free consultation.
