Meet the Specialist
Hi, I’m Yeharar Stephen, LPC, LADC, M.STherapy with me is a real conversation, focused on healing the roots of your High Functioning Anxiety, not just managing the symptoms. Expect a mix of compassion, curiosity, and straight talk – all within a space where you can drop the mask and be completely yourself, without judgment.
My path to specializing in High-Functioning Anxiety and Attachment Healing was shaped by recognizing a profound gap: many high-achieving women are told they're "fine" while feeling like a they’re failing. I know that feeling of striving endlessly without finding true internal safety.
As a highly specialized therapist, I have spent years honing my skills specifically to address the complex intersection of perfectionism, relational patterns, and achievement that define High-Functioning Anxiety.
My goal is simple: to stop the cycle of endless coping and performance, and to guide you back to your sustainable sense of peace.
Day to day life with my family grounds me in the very real experience of balancing ambition with internal peace. I understand the pressure cooker environment my clients navigate every day. When we work together, you receive a space that is not just safe and supportive, but also highly focused on achieving one core goal: helping you heal the roots so you can finally feel anchored and at home in your own skin.
