About Stephen counseling services

Helping individuals go beyond the surface.

Are you ready to make a change?

You're trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, feeling like you're walking on eggshells, trying to meet the expectations of others while losing touch with your own desires and dreams. The weight of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty is bearing down on you, making it hard to breathe, hard to sleep, and hard to find joy in the things that once brought you happiness. You're tired of feeling like you're living in the shadows, afraid to take risks, and uncertain about your place in the world. But deep down, you yearn for something more. 

You want to break free from the grip of self-doubt and find the courage to be yourself, without apology. You want to rediscover your passions, your values, and your sense of purpose.

You want to learn to trust yourself, to set healthy boundaries, and to cultivate meaningful relationships that uplift and support you.

Together, we can work towards making that vision a reality. Through our work, you'll gain the tools, support, and guidance you need to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and unlock your full potential. Let's embark on this journey of transformation and discovery, and let's uncover the bright, bold, and beautiful life that's waiting for you.

Hi, I’m Yeharar Stephen, LPC, LADC, M.S

Therapy with me is a real conversation, not a lecture. We'll dig into what's been weighing on you, laugh when it feels right, and figure things out together. Expect a mix of compassion, curiosity, and straight talk – and a space to be yourself, without judgment. Let's get honest, get curious, and find your way forward.

Life can get messy, and sometimes you need a guide to help you navigate the twists and turns. That's where I come in. With a background in community work and a passion for helping others, I've spent years honing my skills as a therapist. My goal is simple: to create a safe, supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and to empower you to live a life that truly reflects who you are.

Growing up in a big, boisterous family in Connecticut taught me the importance of empathy, communication, and community. Now, living in Westchester with my husband and young son, I'm grateful to be building a practice that aligns with my values. When I'm not working, you can find me soaking up quality time with loved ones or exploring new adventures.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals work through anxiety, relationships, enmeshments, trauma, life transitions, and career support. My approach is all about finding creative solutions and empowering you with the tools, confidence, and resilience you need to thrive. Let's work together to uncover your strengths, challenge your limitations, and unlock your full potential. Life is precious – let's make the most of it.
