About Stephanie Collins

Stephanie Collins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from California State University, Sacramento and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. After leaving Texas in 1990 she established her life and career in California and has continued to support adults through a range of life challenges.

She brings enthusiasm and dedication to her work, helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the pressures of modern life. Her approach blends evidence-based therapies - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness - with somatic techniques that address how stress shows up in the body. Breath work and other somatic practices are woven into sessions alongside conversations that explore how thoughts influence feelings and behavior.

Stephanie works with concerns such as self-esteem and confidence, grief, anger, attention challenges, isolation and loneliness, panic and panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and collaborates with each person to tailor dialogue and a treatment plan to their unique needs. Taking the first step toward change can take courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process.

Outside of her clinical work she enjoys walking her dog in the park, practicing hot yoga, and cooking.
