Stefanie Fernandez, LCSW-R

Stefanie Fernandez brings more than 25 years of clinical psychotherapy experience supporting adults from a wide range of backgrounds who present with diverse emotional health concerns. She focuses primarily on adults age 21 and over who struggle with anxiety, depression, developmental or physical disabilities, chronic health conditions, trauma, loss and grief, PTSD, and family and relationship challenges, while also addressing a broad spectrum of other emotional health issues.

Her primary work is individual therapy, though she has extensive experience leading groups, conducting family sessions, providing couples counseling, and working with older teens. Intervention choices are tailored to each client - the selection of therapeutic approaches is guided by individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Therapy is collaborative and client-driven; she partners with clients to identify priority goals and moves forward together while monitoring progress.

Central themes in her practice include cultivating greater self-awareness, building mindfulness skills, and strengthening the connection to one’s inner experience. In addition to clinical work, she serves as a mentor to social work graduate students and provides supervision for social workers entering private practice. She holds the LCSW-R credential, which denotes a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered.
