Stephanie is a therapist working with adults of all ages facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges. She has a special interest in working with college
students, including athletes, as they navigate the pressures of academic life and moving into adulthood. In addition to private practice, she has experience working in high schools,
college counseling centers, intensive outpatient addiction treatment and community mental health.
Her approach is relational, rooted in attachment and psychodynamic theory. She recognizes the importance of both “bottom-up” (body centered) and “top-down” (mind centered)
approaches in therapy, and uses evidence based modalities like EMDR, IFS (InternalFamily Systems) and DBT as well as traditional talk therapy to help clients makemeaningful, lasting changes. She aims to provide feedback that’s compassionate,
digestible, and practical—offered in a way that makes you feel supported and understood.
Stephanie’s practice is named “Alchemy Counseling” because she believes that therapy is ultimately a transformative process. In ancient alchemy, practitioners sought to turn base metals into gold by combining elements, applying heat, and patiently working through the process. Similarly, therapy focuses on taking what already exists within you—your experiences, strengths, and struggles—and transforming it into something meaningful and valuable. The work we do together in therapy—exploring emotions, addressing pain, and challenging old patterns– is the “heat” that catalyzes transformation. The goal of alchemy was to produce gold. In therapy, transformation might look like self-acceptance, emotional resilience, or a renewed sense of
purpose. You don’t become someone entirely different—you uncover the valuable and extraordinary potential that was there all along.
Stephanie accepts cash payment as well as most BCBS and Aetna insurance plans. Please feel free to reach out to stephanie@alchemycounselingnatick.com to set up a 15 minute consultation call to explore whether she would be a good fit to work with you.
