"Stephanie’s deep knowledge and commitment to inclusive teaching have made a significant impact on my learning experience. She demonstrates a true understanding of the subject matter and goes beyond standard teaching methods by tailoring her approach to accommodate various learning styles. Recognizing that not everyone thrives in typical small-group practice sessions, Stephanie creates a safe, supportive environment that respects and uplifts neurodiversity. She offers multiple ways to engage with the material, allowing each student to feel comfortable and capable, regardless of their learning preferences. This dedication to individualized learning makes the course accessible, empowering, and truly enriching for all. Highly recommend this course!"

"I have been a therapist for 12 years, but I am new to the grief & loss field. Stephanie was an engaging instructor & I made grief & loss concepts easier for me to understand to apply to my client work. I appreciated her providing client case examples, as well as an intake assessment form that can be used in my next client session. I would definitely take another one of her courses!"
