Stefania is a compassionate and spiritually grounded therapist dedicated to helping individuals become the most authentic and empowered version of themselves. She believes that everyone has the innate potential to heal and grow, and she works collaboratively with her clients to foster self-awareness, challenge unhelpful patterns, and support healthier ways of thinking and being.
With experience supporting children, teens, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, Stefania specializes in working with individuals navigating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), low self-esteem, complex family dynamics, anxiety and depression. She is especially passionate about helping families who have experienced adversity related to poverty, grief, or crisis.
Prior to joining Ellie, Stefania served as an elementary school counselor and played a key role in developing mentorship programs across Nassau County and Queens through her work with New York State.
Outside the therapy room, Stefania finds joy in nature, long walks, and meaningful connections with people who bring laughter into her life. A quote that resonates deeply with her is: “People will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
