Stephanie Frey, LMHC

Stephanie Frey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Iowa who brings seven years of experience in the mental health field. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people from varied backgrounds and ages can explore challenges and build practical coping skills. Stephanie has worked with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, self-harming behaviors, relationship concerns, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, and the everyday stressors that accompany life changes. She also has experience supporting children ages 6 and up, teens, adults, and families, and has worked with dual diagnosis and crisis intervention situations.

Clinically, Stephanie commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while also incorporating client-centered, strength-based, and mindfulness-informed techniques to tailor care to each person. Her approach is collaborative - she partners with clients to set goals and find solutions that fit their circumstances and values. Whether addressing panic, social anxiety, mood concerns, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, or struggles common to young adults, Stephanie focuses on practical strategies and steady support to help individuals move toward their goals.
