Stephanie Wallace
Stephanie Wallace is a post-graduate couples and family therapist who completed her degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2015.
Stephanie values diversity and equality, and her work includes accepting and affirming the identities of clients across spectrums of ability, sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, and religion. She strives to have conversations with clients that explore societal messages that may be impacting their choices and perspectives, and hopes that such conversations will leave her clients feeling more free to live the lives they want, rather than the lives expected of them.
She believes the therapy room is not a place of judgment, but a space for curiosity, both for herself and her clients. Through this process, clients are encouraged to make conscious choices about what kinds of relationships they want to have with themselves, each other, and the world, and to build confidence in their ability to make decisions and live more positively.
Stephanie is available for Saturday appointments on a limited basis.
Stephanie is a board member for the Massachusetts Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. In her free time, she enjoys reading, acting, and singing. Stephanie is the co-host for the podcast Under the Covers: The Music of Relationships

To the person trying to reach and has been unable to, please do try again. This is a wonderful and helpful facility and I'd hate to see your review impact them negatively.
