Stephanie McGraw, PsyD

​​

Her initial goals of treatment are to understand her patients’ lived experiences and the function of their behaviors before prescribing specific interventions or recommendations. Her hope is to help others develop increased insight into the workings of their own minds, to assess the barriers negatively impacting their current functioning, and to move them closer to an emotionally authentic life that is in line with their individual values.

​​

Outside of her professional work, Stephanie throws herself fully into her identities as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and cousin. Her family life provides her with deep insights into the unique dynamics of diverse family relationships as well as individual identity within these spaces. She finds balance and inspiration in her roles at home, which she believes enrich her understanding and empathy as a psychologist.

​

When not chasing after one of her kids or dogs, Stephanie is a keen enthusiast of audiobooks. She enjoys exploring a wide range of stories and experiences through literature, which not only broadens her perspective but also informs her practice. Her love for memoirs in particular reflects her belief in the power of personal narratives and their role in shaping one’s identity and wellbeing.

​

By integrating her personal experiences with her professional expertise, Stephanie offers a holistic and empathetic approach to psychology, grounded in both her professional knowledge and her lived experiences.
