Meet Stephanie Hardison, LCSW
Your Partner in Healing and Empowerment
I’m a Fat Liberation Therapist and Brainspotting Practitioner, offering virtual therapy that is queer-affirming, trauma-informed, and deeply culturally competent. I specialize in working with BIPOC and first-generation professionals navigating generational trauma, body shame, burnout, and the complex challenges of breaking cycles in your family or community.
Through a unique blend of talk therapy and Brainspotting, I provide you with tools to process your past and release emotional blocks. Together, we’ll work to bring healing to the parts of your life and body that have been left behind.
As a queer, first-generation daughter of immigrants, I offer a therapeutic space where your entire identity is not just welcome—it's celebrated. Here, we'll move beyond survival and work towards the authentic, unapologetic thriving you deserve.
I invite you to explore my site to learn more about how we can work together.
