THERAPY FOR PROCESSING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Anxiety | Grief | Life Stressors
Relationship Challenges | Personal growth
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
-Carl Rogers
My Approach
Welcome to my practice web site.
I work with adult clients (25+).
I offer therapy sessions in person at my Brookhaven/Atlanta office, and online via my HIPAA compliant video platform.
Many of us benefit from professional support in attuning to ourselves, exploring our challenges, broadening our perspective, and clarifying what matters most. In our work together, we slow down—paying attention not only to thoughts, but also to emotions and embodied sensations. I balance deep, active listening with thoughtful reflections and questions to help you expand awareness of yourself, your relational patterns, and the contexts influencing your life.
-
I value the eight “Cs”—calm, curiosity, compassion, clarity, courage, connectedness, creativity, and confidence—and strive to cultivate them (imperfectly!) in my own life and in my work with clients. As we build your capacity to “notice and wonder,” you may find yourself becoming less reactive and more responsive. Together, we work toward healing old wounds, developing new ways of coping, and moving forward in valued directions.
Many of my clients have worked with me for five years or more and appreciate having a consistent, long-term source of support. I integrate person-centered, existential, and mindfulness-based approaches with parts work and somatics. In addition, I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma and stuck points; I offer EMDR based on client interest and clinical suitability.
If this resonates with you, I welcome you to inquire about availability and fit.

Services
Finding a therapist you connect with can be one of the hardest steps in your journey of healing and growth.
I work best with clients (25+) who are:
Navigating stressors and life events
Grieving losses
Struggling in relationships
Feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected
Seeking ongoing mental health hygiene and personal growth
I also see a limited number of clients for focused trauma work.
I provide a compassionate, emotionally attuned space for exploration, reflection, and meaningful forward movement. Please contact me for a complimentary phone consultation if you would like to learn more; together we can assess whether I might be helpful to you.

Change -- even positive change -- can feel overwhelming or disorienting. Shifting roles, rules and expectations can impact our internal and external worlds. Together we can help you navigate significant, stressful, or abrupt life events such as job/career change, quarter life and midlife re-evaluations, relocation, pursuing an advanced degree as an adult, relationship changes, empty nest, aging, retirement, and caregiving. I help clients identify and fully acknowledge the primary and secondary impacts of change. It can be a relief to transform hidden assumptions, unspoken expectations and tacit knowledge into clear, verbalized information. From there we process associated emotions, find ways to manage stress, and foster positive adjustment.

To be human is to experience loss, whether mourning a death or grieving a disruption of identity, role, or relationship. Grief is a natural response to loss, and you don’t have to face it alone. Together we can help your mind, body and spirit come to terms with loss, adjust to the new reality, foster enduring connections, and reorient in meaningful directions.

Psychiatrist and author Dr. Dan Siegel describes optimal mental health as balancing our individual identity ("Me") with our innate, biologically wired need for connection ("We"). Therapy offers a space to explore how we relate to ourselves and to others. Are you satisfied with the quality of your connections? How can you cultivate meaningful relationships while staying true to yourself? Together, we can increase awareness of your patterns of relating, build on your strengths, and explore alternatives to patterns that no longer serve you. While we cannot control others, we can choose how we show up in relationships -- and those choices transform how we connect with others.
-
Flourishing: Sometimes it feels like we are gliding confidently through life, engaging and growing in new and welcomed ways. If this is what you’re experiencing, you may want a supportive space to digest and integrate these positive transformations. We can also work on pacing your momentum so that you remain grounded and centered.
Feeling stuck: At other times we can feel stuck – anxious and overwhelmed, or shutdown and disconnected from our sense of vitality. Working together, we can explore your values and sense of meaning, identify/address internal and external obstacles, and catalyze forward movement in directions that are meaningful to you.
-
By mental health hygiene, I mean ongoing care that cultivates emotional balance, self-awareness, and resilience—much like tending to physical health over time. Being human can involve a lot of “doing.” Therapy helps us balance “doing” with the complementary states of being and reflecting, promoting positive mental health.
"By your stumbling, the world is perfected."

About Me
Stephanie Foxman, MS, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I became a therapist after experiencing firsthand, for many years, the value of being in therapy myself, and I find deep meaning in offering that same support to others. I understand what it’s like to sit on the couch, and I strive to create a comfortable, supportive, and respectful environment. I believe therapy works best when it takes place in a space that feels both professional and deeply human. It’s so important that we each feel seen, heard, appreciated and encouraged in our lives!

I’ve been in practice since 2014. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (License Number LPC009742) in the state of Georgia and a member of the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia (LPCAGA). I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgia State University.
Prior to opening my private practice, I served at Mercer University’s Student Counseling Center, providing individual and group therapy, and at the Care and Counseling Center of Georgia, where I offered individual and couples counseling, facilitated a long-term grief group, and taught yoga for mental health to both clients and staff.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in corporate communications and marketing. Because of this background, I often “click” with business professionals and others navigating high-achievement environments, workplace stress, or career transitions.
I’m a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (Level 2) and a Certified Yoga Therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists. I practice yoga for inner balance, and I enjoy supporting clients who are exploring formal and informal mindfulness disciplines.
I live and work near Emory University and find it rewarding to work with Emory faculty, staff and advanced degree students. I’m an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy checking out the Atlanta arts scene, reading modern literary fiction and memoirs, working on easy jigsaw puzzles, and streaming while wrapped in a soft, cozy blanket.

Fees
My fee is $170 per 45–50 minute session.
Sessions are offered in person (at my Brookhaven/Atlanta office location) and online (via my HIPAA compliant video platform) for clients residing in Georgia.
Insurance:
I am no longer an in-network provider with any insurance plans. If you would like to seek out-of-network reimbursement for therapy services, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Because out-of-network benefits vary by plan, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to verify your coverage. Be sure to ask about your deductible, reimbursement rate, any session limits, and the process for submitting claims.
