Stephanie Parsons, LCSW

Therapist

Steph firmly believes that all humans are capable of doing hard things, and she recognizes that for many, therapy can feel overwhelming and intimidating. That’s why it’s important to her to offer a space of non-judgement, support, and humor while walking through challenges with her clients.​ 

Steph is a licensed clinical social worker with a Masters Degree from the University of Chicago and has experience supporting humans in multiple countries, including Canada, Slovakia, and Thailand. Steph spent the beginning years of her career specializing in OCD and anxiety related disorders using ERP and DBT modalities. She also spent significant time treating people with PANS/PANDAS.

Today, Steph is passionate about empowering humans to be self-healers and connect to their bodies. It is an honor for her to explore layers of the soul through talk therapy, parts work, somatic work, and meditation. 

When not at work, Steph is usually in the mountains with her puppy Samson, dunking in ice baths, or traveling the world.
