My name is Steph Almanza, and I founded Two Three Counseling with the belief that healing is possible—no matter how heavy the past may feel. I’ve worked in the addictions field for over four years, and my path to this work is deeply personal. I’m in long-term recovery and have experienced the realities of addiction, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and intimate partner violence. These lived experiences ground my commitment to walk alongside others with empathy, understanding, and care. What started as a calling to support people in recovery has grown into a broader mission: to help individuals find a path forward through compassion, courage, and grace. I now specialize in treating trauma, substance use, gambling concerns, and co-occurring mental health challenges. I bring a trauma-informed approach to every session. Whether you're navigating trauma, rebuilding in recovery, or simply hoping to feel more like yourself again, I offer a calm, steady presence and a space for real, lasting change.
