Joanna Stephens, APC

Joanna’s goal is to provide an authentic, supportive, and comfortable therapeutic environment in which clients feel safe to process their experiences and pursue meaningful healing. Treatment is collaborative and guided by each individual’s goals, needs, and readiness, with interventions introduced at a pace that is appropriate and sustainable for the client. She believes that meaningful therapeutic change is ultimately driven by the client’s own engagement and willingness to participate in the process. Her role is to support, guide, and facilitate that process through evidence-informed therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Joanna works with women and men across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults. Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions and adjustment. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling (MS) and is an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) and practices under the supervision of Laura Beth Peterson.
