I’M S.A.D

Stephanie A. Disen, LCSW

I work with people who are already doing the work, who know something is unresolved and aren’t looking to explain it away or stay comfortable inside it. They’re not in crisis. They’re ready to be seen differently. 

My focus is not on accelerating change. It’s restoring the clarity that pace and pressure make hard to hear. For some people, that clarity comes in a room with others. For others, in solitude.

I offer both through storytelling facilitation and individual psychotherapy, both built on the same two conditions: structure that creates steadiness and openness that allows something real to surface. From there, insight becomes usable and forward movement becomes deliberate. Not catharsis, but clarity that holds up over time. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Columbia University. I provide telehealth psychotherapy in New York and live in Austin, Texas, moving between Austin and New York City throughout the year.
