Stephanie Brekstad, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

My clients describe me as:

A warm presence, offering consistency as well as laughter to their sessions. I offer empathic challenging, a safe space, and a listening ear.

Something to know about my approach is:

Grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for healing and change. I bring to your therapy the knowledge that your past, social support, physical health and cultural background all impact you.

Together, we will:

Understand what led you here and where/how to get you where you are going. You will learn how to manage life's stressors to feel more control. To reengage in life in a meaningful way to you. To experience lasting change.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are willing to explore change, who want to learn more about the difficulties they are facing, who want to experience relief and gain support. Who wish to reconnect with what and those they love and find value and meaning in their life.

I became a therapist because:

We all have a story. I've been lucky at times to have support. I wish to support others and make a difference!

More about me and my practice:

Crescent Healing Counseling’s values are compassion, integrity, and dignity. I believe your decision to engage in therapy should be treated with these values as the foundation.
