I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Winthrop University and have been providing therapy since 2018. I am licensed in multiple states and work with children, families, couples, and individuals. I treat concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, school-related challenges, and self-esteem difficulties. My approach is collaborative and empowering, emphasizing shared goal-setting and ongoing progress assessment so clients remain active participants in their care. When working with children, I involve the family system, recognizing the impact of relational and environmental factors on functioning. For clients who desire it, I am also comfortable incorporating faith and spiritual concerns into treatment in a respectful and client-centered way.

I’m Dr. Stephanie Hall, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with over ten years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with people who are high functioning but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. If you are constantly showing up for everyone else while silently struggling yourself, you are not alone, and therapy can help. My approach is direct, supportive, and grounded in evidence based practices. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Therapy, and strengths based approaches to help you unpack unhelpful patterns, process emotional wounds, and build tools that actually work in your day to day life. Together, we will explore the root of what is holding you back and work toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are, not just what is expected of you. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, burnout, life transitions, or the pressure of always having to be the “strong one,” my goal is to create a space where you can release, reflect, and rebuild. Therapy with me is a judgment free zone where you get to show up fully, including your flaws, fears, strengths, and growth. If you are ready to move out of survival mode and into a more grounded and peaceful version of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you

Everything about the session was great. I love how thorough and detailed the testing and the results were. It shows the time and effort that went into diagnosis. I also feel the Dr was very easy to talk to and very helpful with information and going into depth on behaviors and how they can show up in a person.
