Ms Stephanie Sanger

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Experienced, professional, compassionate psychotherapy .”

About Me

I offer compassionate and professional psychotherapy, built on my extensive experience. My aim is to create a truly supportive space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I guide individuals through life's challenges. We work together to make sense of experiences and find clearer paths forward. This approach is ideal for those seeking a thoughtful, grounded partnership in their personal growth.

Approach

Experience shapes a steady, attentive process that balances clear structure with gentle curiosity to help you notice what’s keeping you stuck. In my Philadelphia office and through secure online sessions in English, we move at a pace you can manage, pairing focused reflection with practical exercises and brief check-ins between meetings when helpful. Sessions tend to highlight patterns, bodily responses, and small experiments you can try at home to test new ways of relating. This approach often suits people navigating transitions, mood shifts, or addiction recovery.
