Stephanie Garvin, LPC

Stephanie Garvin is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. As a cognitive behavioral therapist in Philadelphia, she has both passion and years of experience providing BIPOC therapy to both teenagers and adults, to help them navigate unique life transitions, their identity, and challenges in this phase of life.

For that reason, Stephanie constantly pursues knowledge that allows her to provide culturally affirming therapy.

If you want to reduce the impact of intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, or recent traumatic events you have witnessed or been a part of, Stephanie will be a good fit for your trauma therapy needs. If you are the parent to a teenager or college student who is struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, academic or social struggles, or adjustment to life transition, Stephanie could also be a good fit for your teen or young adult.

She provides a safe therapeutic space that will allow you to process your emotions, spiraling thoughts, and find new perspectives to find healing alongside a licensed cognitive behavioral therapist in Philadelphia. Stephanie is here to help those who are feeling “stuck”, struggling with grief and/or having issues setting healthy boundaries at work and in their personal life.

Not only is Stephanie’s approach trauma informed therapy, she also has expertise in trauma therapy approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Stephanie completed her undergraduate work at Howard University in Washington, DC and her graduate work at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Her ultimate goal is to help others find value in themselves and learn to live their lives unapologetically.
