- GROUP & PRIVATE COACHING PROGRAMS -

After  years of working with other therapists, I finally found Dr. Stefanie.  Within just a couple of coaching sessions, she identified the patterns  of self-sabotage I had been repeating. I wasn't aware of them and I just  knew something was off.  From the outside, I had everything I wanted  and what most people consider "successful" but on the inside I felt  empty, unfulfilled. 

     Working  with Dr. Stefanie this past year has changed my entire perspective on  myself, on life, on everything. I never knew I could feel peace like  this. And for that peace to last even when life throws me curve balls!  Our coaching sessions can be difficult because we go to parts of myself I  have been avoiding. But I trust Dr. Stefanie completely and she creates  a safe space for me so those more difficult sessions end up often being  the most powerful. 

     I  made more progress in months with Dr. Stefanie's coaching than I made  in years of therapy. I feel like I now have a road map of my inner  system and an authentic compass for my life. It is my compass, not the  compass anyone else gave me or told me to use. I have learned to trust  myself and I see the benefits of that every day. I can also tell pretty  quickly when I am off-course or acting out an old pattern or old  reaction and I have tools to get myself back to my center.

    Dr.  Stefanie is gifted in ways I have never seen in other healers. She has  an intuition and skill to truly see me and know what is needed. But her  coaching does not stop there because she has taught me how to see the  layers of myself clearly and compassionately, so that I know what I need  for myself. She is also not afraid to use humor and bring levity to our  work which I appreciate very much.  I am grateful beyond words.

    With  Dr. Stefanie’s compassionate and focused coaching, I’m making changes  in my life that I never thought possible.  In my 60s, and after having  felt “stuck” for many years, my sense of self is being transformed.  And  with it my dating life, family life and professional life—really every  area of my life has been touched and improved by my work with Dr.  Stefanie. 

     Greater  still than the exterior changes are the interior ones. I now see  possibilities in the time ahead that I would never have recognized (let  alone felt able to achieve). And I have growing peace and confidence in  my ability to truly move forward—and to enjoy the journey.  Thank you,  Dr. Stefanie! 

(Mary V., Lawyer, Texas)

She  was a lost little girl living in the shadows without a Home. She was  unseen. Unheard. Unnoticed. And that kept her safe most of her life.  Small, but safe.

But oh, how she longed to walk in the sunlight. To feel warmth and live. To know where she belonged.

I was that little girl for so many years, covering up decades of abuse and abandonment…. until Eden.

     A retreat at Eden was the first step in my journey, coaching with Dr. Stefanie has been the next.

     Coaching  with Dr. Stefanie is about integrating all of our “parts” within us.  She teaches acceptance of oneself, but more than that. She teaches that  we are made up of many parts and each possesses a voice and lesson for  us to grow from. Her teaching shows us that gentle acceptance of our  hurt and pain is the only way to heal, to become whole.

     Dr.  Stefanie’s insights are based on deep responsibility to oneself so we  can live authentically within our world. The sessions are not always  easy. Dr. Stefanie doesn’t allow you to phone it in, or give up. She  leads gently through meditations, visualizations, journaling, and  reflections. She is there every step of the way, rooting for you and  helping the heart stay focused on BEING the work. 

     Dr.  Stefanie is like an Olympic coach who knows how to pull the best from  her people. She doesn’t give up on you and more importantly, she doesn’t  let her people give up on themselves.

     I  have been to many counselors in my life. In those sessions, I learned  some nice “life hacks” and coping mechanisms. Not so with Dr. Stefanie.  She teaches you how to heal your own heart and soul. How to feel your  body again and live, I mean really live. 

     There  will be tears, laughter, revelation, and moments of such clarity that  tie the mind, body, and soul together. It isn’t easy. Winning a gold  medal in the Olympics isn’t either, but possible, with dedication. This  work takes nothing less. And delivers the Gold.

     I  was so lost after trauma upon trauma pounded my life like an  unrelenting storm. Four major family deaths (two brothers, my mom, and  dad, a shocking and horrific divorce after 33 years of marriage, my ex  marrying less than a few months after the divorce, three moves, severe  COVID, my daughter-in-law almost dying from a stroke at 24 years old, a  high-pressure job, caring for my elderly father for months after my mom  passed (he lived 4 hours away) and all of this happened in 18 months.

     Had  I not found Dr. Stefanie, I am unsure I would be here writing this  testimonial. All of this trauma layered upon years of abuse as a child; I  was more than lost when I met Dr. Stefanie. My world and identity had  been decimated. My heart didn’t have a safe place to call home.

     In  7 months with Dr. Stefanie, the changes in my inner world have created  an outer world that is safe, full of light and people. I am seen and  heard. I see and hear myself! I haven’t learned life hacks; I have  learned to live from the inside out. My entire life had been tragically  destroyed in a matter of months. Now…. I am not lost anymore. I don’t  live in the shadows nor am I alone, and lesson by lesson, step by step,  Dr. Stefanie is walking me home.

 Dr.  Stefanie has helped transform the way I look at myself. I have learned  how truly special I am and how to love myself to my fullest extent for  who I am. Dr. Stefanie has helped me learn how to notice my emotions and  learn to connect with them and ease them that way, versus pushing them  away or distracting myself from them. At a young 21 years of age, I have  matured so much in the handful of months I have worked with Dr.  Stefanie through many deep interactions with myself, mindful  meditations, and reflection experiences.

 (Will M., Division I Athlete, from Baltimore) 

I  first participated in Dr. Stefanie's coaching program as part of the  retreat. Every session was very well thought out, organized, and  engaging. Working with Dr. Stefanie has provided me with important tools  to use throughout my journey of self-discovery. Now I show up in my  life being more present and feeling engaged. I have been able to bring  healing to younger me in profound ways. The tools Dr. Stefanie gave me  helped me make the most of the retreat and went far beyond that. I use  what she taught me each day of my life. Take full advantage of this  coaching! 

(Kim P., Redondo Beach California)

   Dr.  Stefanie is quite simply the most talented healer I've ever known.  I  have worked with other psychologists and coaches on and off for years.  The way Dr. Stefanie works is entirely different. This is profound and  deeply healing. In a year of sessions with Dr. Stefanie, I had more  insights, self-love, and long awaited and necessary shifts in my life  than I had in almost a decade with other therapists and coaches. If you  thought the retreat was powerful, then you will really appreciate this  ongoing work. It is the best gift you could give yourself.  (Carla,  Southern California) 

  I originally wanted to work with Dr. Stefanie because of how masterful  she was with integration coaching after my psychedelic sessions. I also  knew she did IFS coaching and I had worked with other IFS therapists.  I  like the IFS model and the other therapists did help me, but with Dr.  Stefanie it is different. She is so present in our sessions that I feel  like I can go to parts of myself that I was afraid to go to before.  During our sessions, I almost feel like I am walking into my inner world  with Dr. Stefanie holding my hand. She is right there beside me which  makes me feel safe to go to these places I used to avoid at all costs. I  also appreciate how respectful she is of the pace of our work. She  never pushes me past what I am ready for. 

     I  have been working with Dr. Stefanie for 6 months and I have just  decided to do another 6 months. I have made progress that I did not know  was possible and I am excited to see what the next 6 months can be.  Thank you Dr. Stefanie. You have changed my whole life. I am grateful  beyond measure. May you always be blessed for the incredible work you  do. 

(Simon, attorney, CA)

 I  found myself dreaming of a different life for myself. There always  seemed to be a myriad of obstacles that seemed too difficult to  navigate or overcome from both an emotional and logistical point of  view. In  only a few sessions with Dr. Stefanie, I gained the confidence  and clarity to move forward and realize my dreams. 

     Her ability  to guide me through thoughtful questioning, focused listening,  useful imagery, and persistent attention to my needs and goals really  helped to untangle all of the distractions and difficulties and quell  the fears that kept me from moving forward in a life that truly aligns  with who I am. She left me with effective tools that I can use whenever I   feel myself slipping backwards into patterns that do not serve my best  practices.

     I am forever grateful! 

(Tracy M., Actor, Wilmington, NC)

    Dr.  Stefanie is an incredible coach and human being. Her genuine  compassion, intuition, and ability to create a safe container for me is  light years beyond other coaches I have worked with. Our sessions are  incredibly healing and valuable. Working with Dr. Stefanie has enabled  me to go beneath the “story” and dig deeper into what was running me and  keeping me on repeat in my life. The container she holds is the perfect  balance of strong and soft. I walk away from every single session with  deep clarity. I have made movement in areas of my life that felt stuck  for most of my life. Thank you, Dr. Stefanie. I am ever grateful.

 (George, entrepreneur, Philadelphia)

  Coaching  with Dr. Stefanie is a game-changer. I had worked with therapists and  other coaches before, tried EMDR, CBT, all of it. But I was never able  to access the depths of myself that I can with Dr. Stefanie's guidance. I  am breaking long-standing patterns and I have stopped beating myself  up. My inner critic is now my inner coach. She holds a safe space for me  to connect with my inner world and her gentle guidance is exactly what I  need. I have made more progress in a year with Dr. Stefanie than I did  in 5 years of therapy. Thank you! 

 (Aubrey, CA)  

 I  feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Stefanie. She was recommended to me  by a colleague I trust. I was not sure what coaching would involve, but  within minutes of my first session with Dr. Stefanie, I knew I was in  capable hands. I knew something was different about her than other  coaches I had worked with before. 

     I  have learned to view my life (past, present, and future) with a  completely different perspective. I am not the victim of my  circumstances. I now see how I am the creator of my life and can create  anything I focus on. I know that no matter what challenges I face, I can  learn, grow, and come out even more enriched.

     Dr.  Stefanie is brilliant. I am always impressed with how quickly she is  able to get to the core of the matter. I can be stuck on something for a  week and within a few minutes of our session, we are right in the the  thick of it and moving through it to learn and grow. She is more  effective and compassionate than anyone I have ever known. I feel  blessed to have her in my life.

     Dr.  Stefanie also helped me reconnect to my faith and spirituality. I had  been away from my faith for many years after so much hurt and  abandonment in my life. I felt lost and defeated. Through our work  together I rediscovered my love for, and my own deep relationship with  God. I cannot imagine where I would be without having this guidance and  unwavering support. Thank you doesn't feel like a big enough word for  how much gratitude I have. Dr. Stefanie I know that you changed my life  and I am finally living the life I was meant to live. You are a blessing  in my life and I am forever grateful for you. Anyone who has you in  their life will be better for it.  (Carol, caretaker, California)

Dr.  Stefanie's coaching will transform your life!  Give yourself fully to  this and let Dr. Stefanie's guidance lead the way.  A beautiful life is  given to everyone. You can see it and you can live it!  Working with Dr.  Stefanie will help you see this and BE this.  This coaching has helped  give me exactly the life I want - I still need to work every day but for  the most part every one of my days is filled with lots and lots of  beauty and joy - I could live this life forever...I am forever grateful.  

 (Kirk M. business owner) 

Dr.  Stefanie helped me find my baggage and carefully unpack it and put it  in its right place.  To not forget or discard the parts of me, but to  know they are there and it makes me who I am today.  That these parts  just want to be loved and heard and when I do that I have freedom, calm,  peacefulness. I always felt safe opening up to Dr. Stef because she  never judged me. I was able to open up a lot more with her than any  other therapist or psychiatrist in the past. With Dr. Stef, I felt heard  and understood. By her doing this, it allowed me to finally love  myself.

My  husband and I also did couple's coaching with Dr. Stefanie. We have  learned how to better talk things out and really hear to each other.  We  have learned to give each other space when it is needed. And we now  make time for each other a priority. Our home is now calmer and our  relationships with our kids have also improved.
