Stephanie Booth is a clinical graduate intern pursuing a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling at Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL. Stephanie holds both a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Higher Education from Taylor University.

Stephanie believes that the best inner work is done when we are patient and honest with ourselves and our grief, pain and trauma.

One of my biggest passions is working with children and parents and helping the family
to become a healthier, happier unit. I am a big proponent of early intervention. My hope

develop positive coping skills that will carry them throughout their lifetime. I feel honored
to walk alongside each client as they discover their strengths.
