Therapist

Karissa Stewart, LMHC, MS

I believe that no matter how challenging things are right now, you have the capacity to heal and reach your fullest potential. You may feel like this is impossible for you or that you are broken, but I believe in you. Therapy can seem very daunting and scary and I am passionate about helping you find wholeness and acceptance within a safe and comfortable space. Often, we are our own worst critic and we judge ourselves while rarely appreciating the beauty within us. It is through self-empowerment and your own strength that together we can discover your best self.

One of my favorite quotes is from Maya Angelou, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Relief from this hurt is my wish for you. Your story is worthy of being told and when you’re ready, I am ready to hear it.
