Stephanie Haywood

When I’m not working, I value and protect time spent with myself and loved ones, exploring nature, going on hikes/walks (often joined by my dog), traveling, and going on some type of adventure. Art is a significant part of my life especially audio-based and kinetic-based art. I've had a healthy relationship with music and movement throughout life and utilize these creative outlets to stay or become balanced. All art and activation of senses really help guide and anchor me in promoting and maintaining my wellness.

Research shows that the therapeutic alliance between you and your therapist is the best predictor of successful treatment outcome. Psychologists define the therapeutic alliance as the strength of the therapist and client relationship and how aligned you are on goals. Once you have developed a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist, studies show that individuals are more productive at work, have more fulfilled relationships, can cope more effectively with daily stressors, and engage in less risky behaviors.

Unfortunately, clients can not book with a specific matching therapist at this time. All of our matching therapists are licensed clinicians trained extensively in matching people to the therapist who’s right for them.
