Therapists Who Care
Many research studies indicate that most important factor in effective psychotherapy is a strong, positive relationship between the therapist and the client. Bearing this in mind, it is critical for you to find a good fit when selecting a therapist.
Each mental health professional chosen for the Transcendence team was selected due to not only excellent professional skills, but also their extraordinary level of empathy and compassion toward their clients. We truly care about are clients and are personally invested in the relationships we build with you.
DR. STEPHANIE WILLIAMS, Ph.D.
Owner, Licensed Psychologist
My priority is to treat each person with compassion, respect, and kindness. I strive
to help my clients get to the
root of their challenges using experiential, emotional processing techniques to make lasting changes in their lives
and help them help themselves over a lifetime.
I believe it is never too late to accomplish your life goals. I have 22 years of experience helping people with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions, chronic illness, HIV/AIDS, grief, death/dying, post-traumatic stress, adjustment to disability, dissociative disorder, and sexual and gender identity issues (LGBTQ+).
I have a strong background in helping people recover from dysfunctional families and traumatic childhoods. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, including senior citizens, and am experienced in working with first responders - i.e., Police, Fire, EMS, teachers, and military and war veterans.
Dr. Williams' caseload is currently full.
KIRSTI REEVE, MA, LPC, NCC, CAADC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Everyone has overwhelming times in their lives, when ways that we use to cope aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself, isolating, or overeating and want to change. Counseling can help you move forward at times when you feel stuck, can help you develop new coping skills and tools to manage life's challenges, and rediscover your inner strength. It provides an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.
My specializations include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-injury ("cutting"), eating disorders, abuse survivors, and LGBT issues, including self-acceptance, coming out, spirituality and wellness. I can also provide substance use evaluations and addictions counseling.
I love working with children and youth, especially teens /young adults.
I focus on your strengths: the tools, support, and positive factors that have helped you get this far. No matter how overwhelming life seems, you are more than the sum of your problems. I take an integrative approach that considers you as a whole person: mind, emotions, body, and spirit.

Therapy can be an invaluable asset to assist us in actualizing our goals and aspirations in many areas of our lives. Through analyzing and changing the patterns and habits that lead us to self-defeat, we allow ourselves to become more confident, effective, and successful.

As your therapist, I will be your ally as you guide the journey through self-exploration and evolution to the person you strive to be. I take pride in creating an atmosphere in which you can feel safe in discussing even the most difficult topics and know that you are accepted unconditionally. Celebrate every success, even the smallest!
