Stephanie Neutz Psychotherapy, LMFT

I’m passionate about helping people learn how to process their emotions, build better communication skills, learn about themselves, and navigate difficult times in life. I believe in providing a safe space where folks can be themselves and where we can foster their desired change together. I employ an often casual and humanistic-based approach which many have found to be helpful in putting them at ease. I have experience working with people of all ages from 4 to 70+. I enjoy working with anxiety, life transitions (i.e. career changes, divorce, family changes), relationships, communication skills, boundary-setting, substance use disorders, and issues surrounding self-esteem and self-worth. My focuses are on individuals and couples. I am LGBTQ+ aware and affirming, often working with individuals who are trans and/or exploring their gender identities. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Women's Studies from the University of Delaware and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University (now a part of National University). I am experienced working in various clinical settings such as school counseling services, non-profit clinics, community mental health agencies, and private practices throughout Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Alameda Counties. I am currently not paneled with any insurance providers but can provide clients with a superbill upon request should you choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement. I strongly urge clients to check with their insurance provider beforehand about policies for reimbursement if seeing a therapist out-of-network. If you feel that you are ready to take the next step with therapy and explore more about yourself or what you may be struggling with presently, please contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
