Stephanie Spaniak, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families in diverse community settings.

My focus

I create a safe space to navigate life's challenges. I focus on helping clients find their inner strengths while developing a meaningful and fulfilling life.

My approach

My approach is person-centered and collaborative. You are the expert in your life. I walk alongside clients to identify patterns, deepen insight, and support meaningful change.

My communication style

I prioritize open communication to create an open, non-judgmental space.

My journey to mental healthcare

My strength has always been listening without judgment or fear. My passion is walking individuals through their crisis while instilling hope and helping them identify their strengths.

My goals for you

Together we can identify the goals that will help you achieve healing and growth. Active listening, respect, and unconditional positive regard promote a new outlook that will help you be successful in your life.

Our first session

I let you set your goals; we will build our foundation with an assessment and adjust as you grow and find renewed strength and focus.
