STEPHANIE hansen, lmft

Online therapy in San Diego and throughout California

ready to feel secure and confident in your own skin?

You remember a time when you didn’t feel like a hamster on a Groundhog Day-esque spinning wheel, when your confidence was unshakable, and you weren’t constantly comparing yourself to others ...but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

you’ve come to the right place.

I’m Stephanie, and I help women just like you: ones that have it within them to feel like themselves again (before their conditioned beliefs took center stage), but just need the support to get there.

I help my clients find the courage, motivation and self-compassion to break up with unhelpful thought and behavior patterns by equipping them with the tools they need to reduce negative thinking, rediscover who they are, and finally feel something like love for themselves, quite possibly for the first time.

I am dedicated to helping women create lives they don’t need to escape

I’m glad you’re here.

It’s hard to find a therapist that really gets you, is accessible, and allows you to take the lead. I tend to work with clients with whom I can relate to on an interpersonal level, because at some point, I’ve struggled in the same way you struggle. I’ve been through the ringer and back in my own life, so I’m committed to walking alongside each of my clients as you navigate your way out of the darkness and into the light (no matter how long it takes).

First, we’ll explore the patterns that are causing you to feel stuck, overwhelmed and exhausted. Then, we work together to create a custom toolbox of skills, practices and new beliefs that work best for you. Through our work together, you’ll start to feel more aligned with who you want to be and less weighed down by that pesky inner critic..
