Stephanie SaintCyr LCSW, MACII
I create an environment where you can discover your own truth and ability to nurture yourself by embracing your own stories about your life.
A way to find the stories that heal us.
My Approach
If it seems like no matter how hard you try, you still aren't able to make concrete changes in your life, I can help you make those changes.
If you struggle to heal from the past, or a current crisis you need support with, I can help you with that healing.
As an Imago therapist I am uniquely able to assist you with your partnerships and to help you improve your communication with any loved one, friend, family member or co-worker.
My use of inner child work or “inner adult work” can help you learn to vastly improve your self-nurturing and self-care, increasing your independence as well as your ability to relate to others in healthy ways.
I have spent the majority of my life in personal growth and therapeutic pursuits and I am profoundly committed to using both, not only for myself since they have improved my life immensely but also as means of improving and deepening your life experience.
I am grateful to be able to facilitate professionally for others what I do personally for myself. I believe that life is short and that we are each responsible to make ours the most joyful, vibrant, present experience that we can.
Personal Sessions
Because of my own experience in therapy as a client, I am very aware that you are the focus of our work together. I am intent on helping you to discover your own truth, inner voice and ability to advocate for yourself in the world.
Couples Therapy
I have been working as a therapist since 1992, and because of this I have a depth and breadth of knowledge about couples therapy. We will work together.......
One-on-One Coach
Therapy, with its raw, authentic focus on the painful as well as joyful experiences of life, is a process I value and deeply enjoy. I am very honored by the trust my clients put in me and in their own healing process.
A highly skilled Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, I have an MSW, LCSW and a MACII certification (chemical dependency counselor certification masters level via the NAADAC) as well as an EMDR certification and a certification as an Imago couples therapist, I expertly guide both teens and adults through life's challenges, specializing in addiction, trauma, and PTSD, as well as relationship issues. With a compassionate approach, I apply a variety of transformative therapy types, including Imago, Transpersonal, Humanistic, EMDR, Interpersonal, and Psychodynamic therapy.
My dedication to foster healing is evident in my strength-based, person-centered, and relational approach. I’m adept at working with individuals, couples, and groups, creating a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and emotional well-being.
I look forward to connecting with you.
