I'm Stephanie Barboza, LMHC — a licensed therapist specializing in OCD, anxiety, trauma, and postpartum mental health. While reducing symptoms is important, therapy is about more than just feeling better. Whether we're working on OCD, anxiety, or trauma, I'm interested in understanding what's happening underneath the surface. Often there's fear, self-doubt, painful experiences, or patterns that have been shaping the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world for a long time. Together, we'll work toward relief from the things that are keeping you stuck while also building a deeper understanding of yourself, more confidence in who you are, and more meaningful relationships with the people around you. My approach blends ERP, ACT, and talk therapy for OCD and anxiety, and a range of trauma-informed methods including EMDR for trauma. Not rigid, not by the book — tailored to you and what you actually need. And sometimes — you just need a space to talk through something that happened, to be heard without judgment, and to figure out what you're feeling. Not every session needs to be heavy or "productive." Sometimes we just need space and support. That's okay too. This is your space. I'm warm. I'm direct. And yes, we will probably laugh at some point — because that's part of healing too. If any of this resonates with you and you want to talk further about what working together would be like, please reach out for a 15 minute consultation! I look forward to hearing from you!
