Featured Associate:
Stephanie Nelson-Gerhardt, MS, LMFT. Balance is the word to describe her. Couples often arrive in the office, each with an eye on what is wrong with the other person. After working with Stephanie, they are pleased to find that neither one was blamed. Both had blind spots. Both learned to change their part in what was not working. With a calm hand she helped them take charge of rewriting their story together. Both partners came to accept, to change, to walk out with hope.
She brings the same balance to teens and to family therapy. Stephanie understands both the teen world and the parent world. Her confidence, her skill and her practical wisdom allow the family system to take the pressure off everyone’s joint anxiety and begin to find solutions that include each family member.
She is specially trained in the Pragmatic Experiential Therapy model for Couples (PET-C). Click here to see her full bio. Call for an appointment today.
