Jasmin Stephens, LMSW
From the very beginning of my career, I’ve been drawn to the moments where pain and hope meet—the spaces where someone begins to believe that healing is possible. I fell in love with trauma work because I’ve seen, time and again, the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Helping someone reclaim their story, find their strength, and experience real relief is an honor I never take lightly.
My path into this work has been shaped by lessons far beyond a therapy room. Through my work abroad, I’ve had the privilege of learning from communities around the world—refugee camps in Ethiopia, an orphanage in Cambodia, and post-disaster zones in Puerto Rico, California, and Madagascar. In every setting, I saw the same truth: healing is possible, and it begins with connection. Those experiences taught me to approach every person and every story with cultural humility, deep respect, and hope.
I have had some incredible opportunities to serve in leadership capacities and clinical roles in community mental health and residential treatment. I loved the work and the incredible teams I led, but over time I felt the weight of organizational limits—the policies and processes that sometimes made it harder to meet people exactly where they were. I realized that the impact I wanted to make required stepping outside the structure of large systems and creating a space where healing could happen without those barriers.
That decision led me here: to a practice built on connection, compassion, and possibility. A space where I can support clinicians while we walk alongside people in their most vulnerable moments and help them move toward lives filled with meaning, resilience, and hope.
Outside of my work, I find joy in life’s simple and adventurous moments alike. I love to read and travel, lose myself in a good video game, or dive into the next personal or professional project that’s captured my curiosity. These moments recharge me and remind me of the importance of balance, creativity, and joy—the same things I hope to help my clients rediscover in their own lives.
