Hello! I’m Steffanie Strawbridge, LCSW. I know that finding a counselor can be as hard as deciding to do counseling. There are so many options for wonderful therapists, so I appreciate the time you are spending looking at my biography. I have worked with a wide range of both typical and non-typical issues related to children and adolescents, including substance abuse, gang involvement, domestic violence, trauma, school issues, and family stressors. Whether I am the right fit for you or not, I wish you the best in your journey.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (she, her)
- Appointments: Telehealth only
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I believe that everyone needs someone who will give them a safe, non-judgmental place to work through problems or stresses. I see the role of a therapist as someone who dives into the deep end of your emotions/problems and helps guide you on how to swim your way out. I will be there if you start to drown to help keep your head above water, but I will also help you develop the skills to get out of the deep end and know how to navigate it should you end up there again.
I work with a wide variety of clients of all ages. A few areas that I specialize in are Attachment issues, Adoption, Kinship Care, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Parenting, Behavioral Issues in children, and general Trauma. I am trained in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Play Therapy, Theraplay, EMDR, TraumaPlay and much, much more.
I know that finding a counselor can be as hard as deciding to do counseling. There are so many options for wonderful therapist, so I appreciate the time you are spending looking at my biography. Whether I am the right fit for you or not, I wish you the best in your journey. If you feel that I can help you or your child, please reach out.
