Stephanie Garber
Licensed independent social worker & intake specialist (she/her)
I believe that the best therapeutic environment is one that is nonjudgmental and open minded.
I enjoy working with individuals who are healing from trauma and are willing to look into their past to improve their present. Therapy can be intimidating, so I recognize the importance of informed consent and building rapport.
My approach to therapy is one that empowers you as the expert on your life and reinforces the idea that the more you know yourself the easier it is to heal.
