Sessions are 50 minutes long, unless an alternative length is agreed upon with your therapist.

This is very dependent on your individual goals for therapy, however, if your primary goal is career exploration and/or development, you may want to consider planning for at least 5-6 sessions to make meaningful progress.

My fee per session is $170 for individual sessions.

I am private pay only and am not in-network with any insurance companies.

You may want to check with your insurance provider about out-of-network benefits for mental health services prior to beginning counseling. I’m happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Please note that you will still be responsible for the full fee at the time of session.

Yes, I reserve a percentage of my caseload for reduced fee sessions. Please contact me about availability.

Currently, I only offer telehealth sessions for Ohio and Florida residents.

Yes, I’m happy to assist you in developing your job application materials, including resumes and cover letters, however, I do not provide resume and cover letter writing services. We will focus more on strategy for what type of content to include, as well as reviewing drafts together.

I think of career therapy as everything you may be looking for in career coaching - plus a bit more. Career therapy/counseling often helps people better understand themselves, explore career possibilities, and navigate the job search, all very present/future focused and goal oriented. We can work on all of the above in career therapy, as well as explore the intersections of career and mental well-being. I believe the two go hand-in-hand!

As a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) I can help you navigate mental health challenges in addition to career challenges. I use trauma-informed approaches to help you understand how your past has impacted you, and how to move forward in a direction aligned with your values and embodied sense of self.

Note: “Therapy” and “counseling” can be used interchangeably. You may notice that I reference career therapy/counseling often.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in the state of Ohio. This means that I completed a Master’s Degree that required 2 years of study and supervised internship, as well as an additional 2-3 years of supervised practice, which provides a depth of understanding into the various aspects of mental health and the human condition. Your work life/career does not exist in a silo. My education and training allow for a broad scope when assessing your concerns about your career and a wide range of tools/solutions/interventions. My license and other certifications ensure that you are working with someone who agrees to a code of ethics, as well as continuing education. Counselors are monitored by state licensing boards, whereas coaches and consultants may be unregulated.

Absolutely! Although career is one of my specializations, I also consider myself a generalist mental health therapist. If you think I’d potentially be good fit as your therapist, I’d be happy to support you with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationships and more.

No, individual TCTSY sessions and group classes are not the same as therapy. If you’d like to participate in these sessions, I recommend that you work with a therapist as well. There is no verbal processing or talking component to the TCTSY sessions.

Please note that although I offer therapy, I cannot work with you as both your individual therapist and TCTSY facilitator concurrently. Clients receiving psychotherapy services outside of Career Therapy with Steffi can use these sessions as adjunctive treatment to existing clinical work.

Developed originally at the Trauma Center in Brookline, Massachusetts by Dave Emerson and others, Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is now a program of Center for Trauma and Embodiment at Justice Resource Institute.

Though this practice was established with trauma survivors in mind, almost anyone can benefit from this self-directed form of yoga that is focused on empowerment and choice making.

This practice is very suited for neurodivergent individuals as well!
