Stephanie Grimaldo

My communication style

I strive to be transparent, authentic, encouraging, empathetic, non-judgmental, supportive, and empowering. I am warm and supportive, but I also challenge you in a caring manner by highlighting maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, pointing out patterns and themes, and addressing contradictions.

My journey to mental healthcare

Like many providers, I've had my fair share of mental health struggles and know first-hand how debilitating it can be. I find deep discussions enriching, and I get excited about helping clients gain clarity into their behaviors and thoughts. It often feels like solving a mystery.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals through a strong therapeutic relationship, collaboration, and a strength-centered approach.

Our first session

The first session will be very laid-back. Meeting a therapist for the first time can be scary and nerve-wracking, so I want it to be as inviting as possible. I'll want to know why you're seeking services, your goals for therapy, and background information. You're welcome to ask me any questions.

I identify as...

• Hispanic or Latinx
