Stephanie Bain
Marriage and Family Therapist Associate
“You’re insightful, self-aware, and still somehow caught in the same emotional reruns. I work with thoughtful, emotionally aware adults and couples who keep noticing the same patterns showing up in love, work, and their own inner worlds. Many of my clients are queer, creative, analytical, emotionally intense, or “the strong one” for everyone else. You might be quietly struggling with anxiety, shame, burnout, attachment wounds, trauma, or the aftershocks of complex relationships. You want depth, honesty, and therapy that actually goes somewhere. I offer therapy for people ready to understand themselves in a more meaningful way.”
