About Stella Breytman, MSW, LCSW, CST
I have always had an interest in the human mind and how it works. As a licensed clinical social worker, I started out working with adults, adolescents, and children specializing in anxiety, bipolar, mood disorders, grief, trauma and relationship therapy. Very quickly I became dedicated and passionate in helping my clients improve their lives. Seeing the profound impact that I made on so many people, inspired me to work harder and led to the understanding that sexual health issues, despite how evident they were in my clients lives, have been unexplored by other therapists. I made it my mission to seek out advanced post-graduate training in sex therapy to develop a deeper understanding of sexual health and the role it plays in individuals and relationships.
In recent years I transitioned to seeing exclusively adult clients struggling with challenges including anxiety, depression, bipolar, intimacy, sexual health, and relationship issues. I have experience working with couples and individuals in non-monogamous/ polyamorous relationships including those of all ages, genders/gender-diverse, cultures, religions and sexual orientations.
My clients are motivated and committed to doing the work! I am honored to have the privilege to work with you and genuinely believe your time and money is valuable. I am dedicated from the very first appointment and anticipate the same dedication from you. I will meet you where you are in your journey and provide you with unconditional positive regard. My policy of acceptance, a strong sense of empathy and patience in my practice creates a safe space for my clients to heal and improve their mental health. There is nothing greater than the joy I get when I see my clients making progress. I look forward to learning more about you and how I can support you!
