Meet
Stephanie Tsao

M.S., LPC

Welcome to Soul String Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh. My practice specializes in providing counseling for clients experiencing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, grief/trauma, and life adjustments/daily stressors.

 

I believe deeply in the inherent resilience of each individual and their capacity for growth and positive change. My goal is to empower clients to tap into their own strengths and resources as they navigate their unique journeys.

 

At Soul String Counseling, I prioritize fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Together, we work towards gaining insight, developing coping skills, and achieving therapeutic goals.

 

My approach integrates evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which effectively addresses anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and depression. I also utilize other modalities and techniques tailored to meet each client's specific needs.

 

I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that promotes healing, growth, and resilience. It is a privilege to accompany clients on their path towards self-discovery and personal transformation. I am honored to play a role in helping individuals become their best selves.
