Stephanie England, LSW
I’ve always been the person people came to when they needed to talk — whether it was for advice, support, or a reality check. I genuinely enjoy helping people make sense of what they’re experiencing, identify what’s getting in their way, and figure out their next steps.
Looking back, it’s no surprise that I eventually found my way into the therapy field. I work with adolescents and adults facing a variety of challenges, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, parental stress, life transitions, and blended family dynamics.
Whether you’re processing the effects of domestic or sexual violence, coping with grief and loss, adjusting to a major life change, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenting and relationships, I offer a collaborative, goal‑oriented approach tailored to your unique needs and experiences. I view therapy as a partnership — you bring your experiences, strengths, and insights, and I bring clinical knowledge, support, and a fresh perspective. Together, we work to understand patterns, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful change.
My therapy style reflects my personality: a mix of humor, authenticity, and direct conversation. I’m an active therapist, which means you won’t find me silently nodding through sessions. We’ll identify goals, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical strategies for growth. Clients often laugh about the random analogies I use, but those examples tend to stick and make difficult concepts easier to apply in everyday life.
Outside of therapy, I balance multiple roles — working full‑time in the corporate world, being a mom to my wonderful stepdaughter and corgi, and staying involved in my community through church, book clubs, and domestic violence advocacy events. These experiences give me firsthand insight into managing stress, navigating change, and maintaining meaningful relationships while juggling life’s demands.
People describe me as approachable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I bring warmth, curiosity, and humor into my work because laughter can be a powerful tool for healing and connection.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a dual Master’s degree in Social Work and Criminal Justice from Rutgers University. Outside of work, you can usually find me in a Pilates or barre class, learning new ice‑skating skills, exploring new countries and cuisines, attending comedy shows, or curled up with a good book. I believe that maintaining balance, curiosity, and joy in my own life helps me show up fully for the people I work with.
