“Reaching out for help took a lot of courage, but we are so glad we did. Our family had been struggling for a while and something needed to change. Stephanie’s approach helped us to move from a place of frustration and feeling incompetent, to feeling certain about our parenting values and excited to do things together as a family.”

R and S – Peterborough, Ontario

“When my parents split up, I felt lost. It felt like they had forgotten about me as they moved on to other relationships. I felt like I didn’t belong anymore and was a stranger in my own home. Stephanie helped me to sort out my feelings and find a way to reconnect with my parents. I had felt invisible and now they saw me as important to them. I was able to go off medication for depression and anxiety and plan a future that I (and they) could be excited about.”

James – age 15

“I contacted Stephanie due to my stressful work conditions. I was feeling trapped, not sleeping and in a constant state of worry. I was having physical symptoms of a heart attack, but I didn’t want to take time off work to see my doctor. Stephanie helped me to make some good decisions about my health, work stress, and to rethink the ways stress was hindering my life. I was able to let go of feeling guilty and ashamed of not being able to manage the load.”

Stan – age 47

“Our family was a mess. We were in a constant state of tension and on the verge of divorce. Stephanie taught us how to work as a team and take control of our destructive ways of communicating and acting with one another.”

C and F – City of Kawartha Lakes

“Stephanie has this talent of tapping into my sense of power and illuminating my long-forgotten talents and gifts. She is a gift. Her wisdom and compassion in her approach to counselling is unique. To top it off, she’s funny too.”
