Stephanie Washington

I’m Stephanie Washington, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina (License #10237), with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through the healing process. My clinical foundation was built working with children and adolescents in school-based, in-home, and community settings, but my passion and primary focus today is helping adults navigate trauma, relationships, and identity. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I’m deeply committed to providing an affirming, judgment-free space for clients,particularly those who have felt unseen or invalidated in other environments. While much of my work centers on supporting LGBTQ individuals, my approach and clinical experience extend to anyone seeking relief, growth, or a stronger connection to themselves. My therapeutic style is grounded yet compassionate, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused approaches, and somatic therapy. Whether you're managing complex trauma, struggling with boundaries, processing identity exploration, or untangling relationship dynamics, I strive to meet you where you are offering both structure and softness as we work together toward real, sustainable healing. If you're looking for a therapist who understands the weight of trauma and the power of reclaiming your voice, you're in the right place.
