Stefanie Smith
Stefanie is an expert in treatment of trauma, PTDS, CPTDS, Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunction as well as narcissism recovery.
Her expertise has been sought after by clients as well as teaching her skillset to other therapists and is considered a master trainer to other therapists. She has served as President of the Board to the non-profit teaching institute of Process Therapy Institute and has founded her own private practice.
She has a background in finance and family law and these skills allow her to support high functioning/high performing individuals and their families.
Stefanie is adept at using integrative therapies that can also include psychedelic work.
“Ketamine-assisted therapy has become a significant part of my practice, and I am thrilled with how effective it has become in helping my clients overcome long-term obstacles to personal growth. My goal is to facilitate a journey of healing, growth, and discovery, and I am committed to supporting each client every step of the way.”
Stefanie has three grown children that are established in their own careers as well as a spoiled rotten cat, Romeo and an equally spoiled Frenchy, Alphie. They are considered coworkers and can occasionally make their presence known in the chair in the back of Tele-Health sessions.
Alphonso Armand Luc the Strong (Alphie)
Alphie insists on dignity with every interaction, with the exception of zoomies, treats, potty breaks and general attention from all forms of the human race.
He is convinced that all other dogs, with the exception of Trixie, who can do no wrong! are of a lesser cloth than himself and must be scolded into submission. It is here that he lets out his fierce aggression and is concerned that no one takes this seriously.
Romeo
Romeo has established himself as a lover and not a fighter, hence the name Romeo.
His typical response to a mouse or lizard crossing his path is, “Hey, are you ok there little buddy?”
We are convinced he is part Hobbit as he insists on first and second breakfast, first and second lunch and first and second dinners.
Romeo typically is found in the office either insisting on sharing Alphie’s bed or preferably trading him altogether and will stroll in and take whatever will make Alphie the most jealous.
Romeo is now 18 years old with arthritis and likes to occasionally roar like his ancestral lions to make his presence known. Once he is sufficiently acknowledged he proceeds with his nap.
