Let's embrace change and embark on a path towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I’m a therapist who wants to help people live a meaningful and value-driven life. Working under the supervision of two licensed psychologists, I specialize in providing psychotherapy for adults working through life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and loss, relationship issues, and psychedelic integration. I also provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I take an integrative and tailored approach to therapy, utilizing evidence-based practices, such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with humanistic and relational frameworks by focusing on meaning-making, acceptance, and the holistic view of each individual. I work to help my clients change their relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, identify their values, and take committed action (after we answer the “why?” I want us to answer the “so what?”). During therapy we will work on fostering authentic connection so we can dive deeper into your life challenges, celebrate your progress, and facilitate meaningful change. We will work collaboratively to identify clear therapeutic goals to provide a roadmap for personal growth. We will explore alternative perspectives and challenge self limiting patterns to open the door to new possibilities and empower you to make positive changes. We will also explore acceptance and work towards embracing your strengths and vulnerabilities so you can build resilience and develop a more authentic and fulfilling life. If you are seeking a therapist who can guide you through life's challenges, empower you to align with your values, and help you cultivate a more meaningful and value-driven life, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards greater well-being.

As a therapist, my aim is to collaboratively work with you to unlock your potential and help you lead a life you can celebrate. The pain of the past can’t be changed, but we can collaborate to better understand and resolve that pain. If you seek emotional relief, guidance, and support through life’s challenges, or if you’re ready to move in a new direction, email or call me for an individual, family, or couples therapy consultation.

I am a compassionate, experienced psychologist, in practice for over 35 years. I have been fortunate to have a vocation that is my avocation; and, relatedly, I expend substantial effort in ever-broadening my skills so that I can be as effective as possible in helping my clients reach their goals. In addition to clients that I help in my practice as a therapist, I enjoy helping others through the self-help books that I write for adults, and for children and their parents.

I am here for YOU, with 10 years of experience. I want you to feel at ease and comfortable with my approachable style, with a results-driven record of effectiveness, efficiency, and a tailored approach for you. These include: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy based on psychoanalytic principles, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), related approaches, and Gottman Method couples counseling. Being accepted to medical school at 17 years old, I share this deeper understanding of the mind-body connection with clients. Location: New York (in person in Nassau, Suffolk, and virtually) and Florida. I have had neurodivergent clients, understand their struggles, and used to provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. I support LGBTQIA+, as part of a network that emphasizes being affirming. I feel strongly about, and have experience helping, varied races and cultures. Please visit Zoc Doc “Sammy Touma” for more details. My experience spans anxiety, depression, relationships, transitions in life, self-image, and identity. Some areas of expertise are trauma and helping couples. I am a trained eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) clinician and a Gottman Method couples counseling provider. My clients have ranged across all ages, from children to adolescents, adults, and geriatric individuals. I offer both individual and couples counseling.

I am committed to providing empathetic treatment that progresses at your pace. We will work together collaboratively to identify goals and make a plan to achieve them. It is important for me to provide you with a warm and genuine experience in therapy in order to feel comfortable and not judged. My passion as a therapist is to help facilitate your healing and personal growth.

I believe that we are all meant to live happy lives, full of meaning. I feel strongly that the adversities we face in our lifetime can serve us well by providing us with the opportunity to gain a higher plain of purpose. My passion and excitement for providing psychotherapy stem from my desire to help individuals discover how they can use their negative experiences in a way that benefits their lives.

My name is Stephanie and I'm the proud owner of Live, Love, Loud Mental Health Counseling PLLC. We work with adults and seniors, individuals, couples, families, and groups struggling with anxiety, depression, and identity issues. We help by allowing you to tell your story, tap into your individual strengths to facilitate healing, achieve greater emotional intelligence, develop healthier communication styles, and overcome your life challenges. Within a strength-based, client-centered environment, we utilize an eclectic approach using elements of solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology.

Throughout my career, I have devoted myself to mastering a broad spectrum of therapeutic tools designed to empower you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic techniques, and the Gottman Method Therapy, all framed within a strength perspective that underscores your innate resilience. I have supported individuals who identify as neurodivergent and BIPOC, as well as those confronting trauma, depression, anger management challenges, and couples’ issues. Together, we will create a personalized toolbox of strategies that address immediate concerns while unraveling deeper patterns. By working collaboratively, we focus on unlocking new possibilities, nurturing self-discovery, and building a solid foundation for long term well-being. Each session is carefully designed to leave you feeling truly empowered, equipped to transform obstacles into opportunities for positive change and enduring resilience.

Over the years, I’ve found that many people seeking therapy are looking for relief from anxiety, depression, or simply trying to navigate the hurdles of everyday life. I work with individuals aged 14 and up, and welcome people of all races, genders, sexualities, and relationship structures. I’m LGBTQIA+ and PolyENM-affirming. As a therapist, I believe in the uniqueness of every individual and the power of a personalized, nuanced approach to healing. Through collaborative conversation, I draw on a variety of therapeutic methods to develop a plan that best fits your needs and goals. I prioritize building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel seen, heard, and valued for who you are. My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. I’m here to support and guide you through challenges, help you tap into your strengths, and foster growth—at your own pace. Whether you’re seeking practical strategies, emotional support, or a space to explore, reflect, and grow, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My approach focuses on helping individuals have hope and belief in the knowledge that they can live a life of fulfillment and contentment. Often people feel broken, overwhelmed and hopeless when faced with life challenges, whatever they may be. It feels like no one understands and nothing can be done, but with help and we all need help from time to time; life can feel worth living. A number of theories are used according to the unique needs you may have. I became a therapist because I love to connect with others on a deeper level. Every since I was about 5 years old, I knew I wanted to be a Social Worker. When we would play house, I would be the social worker. My passion has remained, I enjoy what I do and see it as my part in helping to make this world a better place. My motto is "Bring Quality Back to Care". To treat people as people and not a number. No waiting hours, no feel of being in an institution, no disrespectful staff; just me brimming with a smile filled with enthusiasm and eager to help you reach your goal.
