Stephanie Rotman

MA, LCPC, RYT-200, CCTP-II, TIYT

She/her/hers

Founder, Psychotherapist

Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Certified Somatic Healer, Meditation Instructor, Level II Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher (TIYT) who helps individuals and couples navigate anxiety, burnout, and the demands of modern life. Many of her clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling like they can never fully relax.

Stephanie’s approach is somatic, direct, and practical. She helps clients connect the dots between past experiences, current patterns, and the ways stress shows up in both the mind and body. She won’t just sit back and listen. She asks thoughtful questions, offers honest feedback, and gives clients concrete tools they can use outside of therapy.

With extensive training in mind-body therapies, she incorporates somatic practices, mindfulness, and movement to to help clients feel less stuck in their heads, more comfortable in their bodies, and better able to handle stress when it shows up.

When Stephanie’s not in the therapy room, she enjoys doing yoga, listening to live music and going to concerts, baking, doing crossword puzzles, or cuddling with her dog, Layla.

Being the person everyone can count on can feel like a strength. And it is. But sometimes, being “the strong one” also means you’ve gotten really good at putting your own needs last. Therapy can be one place where you don’t have to be the responsible one, the helpful one, or the person who has it all together. You deserve support too.

There will always be more you could do. One more email. One more task. One more workout. One more thing you could improve, finish, clean, plan, or check off your list. But “I could do more” isn’t the same as “I’m not doing enough.” You don’t have to operate at 100% of your potential to be doing enough.

Most people don’t avoid therapy because they don’t care. They avoid it because they’ve convinced themselves it’s not the right time, not bad enough, or something they should be able to figure out on their own. While those reasons may seem logical, they often just prevent us from getting started and receiving support that ultimately will help propel us forward.

If therapy has been on your mind for a while, there’s probably a reason. We can help. Click the link in our bio to get started.

Most of us have a place where tension settles, and over time we become so used to it that we stop noticing it's there. A body scan is simply the practice of paying attention. For more information on the body scan as well as other tips for releasing tension in the body between meetings, head to the link in our bio to read the latest post.

For a lot of ADHD brains, tasks like responding to emails and text messages can feel frustrating or overwhelming. We crave dopamine hits and a sense of completion, but tasks like messages and emails rarely give us that. The moment you finish, more appear. Instead of a finish line, it feels like a treadmill.
