Stephanie D'Addario-Munnigh

A multicultural counselor with a unique blend of military experience and mental health expertise, Stephanie D'Addario-Munnigh, LPC-A, brings a wealth of cultural sensitivity and practical understanding to her therapy practice. As a Hispanic Sephardic Jewish woman, Stephanie offers a rare perspective that resonates deeply with Spanish-speaking communities and individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Stephanie's journey to becoming a mental health counselor is rooted in her personal experiences and dedication to service. A veteran herself and the spouse of a military service member for 20 years, she intimately understands the unique challenges and transitions that military life entails. This firsthand knowledge allows her to connect profoundly with military members and their families, offering support that goes beyond theoretical understanding.

In her practice, Stephanie works with a wide range of clients, including adults, adolescents, children, and couples. Her areas of expertise encompass crisis management, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. She creates an empowering counseling environment that encourages individuals to face their challenges head-on, providing them with the tools and knowledge to facilitate behavior changes, improve relationships, and develop healthy coping skills.

Stephanie's approach is both collaborative and tailored, adapting her counseling techniques to meet each client's specific needs. For younger clients, she employs play therapy techniques, helping children express their thoughts and feelings more clearly and productively. Her goal is to meet clients where they are on their personal journeys, offering guidance and support as they work towards becoming the person they are meant to be.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Stephanie's multicultural background allows her to offer culturally sensitive care that respects and incorporates diverse perspectives. Her transition from combat medic to mental health counselor exemplifies her commitment to serving others, now channeled into helping clients navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. With Stephanie, clients find not just a therapist, but a compassionate guide dedicated to their empowerment and well-being.
