Stephanie Rettig, LPC

Many of Stephanie’s clients come to therapy after years of being the dependable one, the overthinker, the fixer, or the person everyone assumes is fine. They may be successful, insightful, and caring, yet still feel anxious, scattered, resentful, burned out, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to stop carrying so much for everyone else. Stephanie helps adults slow down, understand the patterns underneath their stress, and build a life that feels steadier, more honest, and more sustainable.

She works with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, emotional neglect, life transitions, and emotionally immature or narcissistic family dynamics. Her style is warm, practical, honest, and human. Stephanie blends insight with action so therapy feels tangible rather than theoretical. She helps clients build boundaries, strengthen self-trust, reduce chronic overthinking, and reconnect with who they are beneath expectations, responsibility, and noise.

Stephanie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, attachment-based approaches, and trauma-informed care to support meaningful change. Her work often centers on helping clients untangle early family patterns, navigate caretaker fatigue, understand their nervous system, and develop a steadier relationship with themselves and others.

Clients often describe Stephanie’s approach as compassionate, direct, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. For clients who desire it, she also offers Christian counseling that integrates faith with emotional care in a way that is compassionate, client-led, and never pressured. The first session is welcoming, conversational, and focused on helping clients feel safe, understood, and supported from the start.
