my name is Stephanie Henschen and I grew up in Sebring, Ohio, a small village that is known for pottery. As a young girl, I played basketball and was blessed to have a coach and role-model that took the time to teach lessons that would be necessary throughout my life. She taught me resiliency, determination, humility, style, grace, and the importance of education and gave unconditionally to our small community (and continues 43 years later). My therapeutic style is client-centered, strengths-based, and team-oriented. A sense of community is the foundation for connectedness and provides purpose.
