Stephanie Bright, LAPC, NCC
Stephanie received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University in Business Economics, and worked in corporate banking and financial services in sales, management and training. After over a decade of working within the corporate environment, she decided to follow her passion for mentoring and coaching others and returned to graduate school, receiving her Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University. She is currently working towards her Doctorate of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision.
While attending her Masters program, Stephanie interned at The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders. She subsequently took a position as a primary therapist working with females ages twelve and older with a primary diagnosis of an eating disorder. Stephanie used her clinical, teaching, and coaching skills to provide individual, group, family, and couples counseling, as well as conducting multi-family groups to help support people and clients during the recovery journey. Stephanie specializes in working with eating disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, personality disorders, family and parenting issues and concerns, as well as young adult and coming of age issues.
Stephanie uses a unified treatment protocol including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment Theory, and psychodynamic theory. Her interest is in helping clients identify roadblocks and cognitive distortions, teaching clients skills to create more flexible thought processes, and using mindfulness to create a healthier body-mind connection individually and healthier relationships with others.
Stephanie is a mom to three teenage/tween daughters, and a very spoiled rescue dog.
