Stephanie Aaron, LCSW

Clinical Manager

When facing a serious medical diagnosis, whether your own or that of a loved one, life can feel overwhelming and uncertain. I specialize in supporting people living with cancer, caregivers, and those navigating grief and bereavement. My goal is to offer you a space where you can explore your emotions openly, without judgement, and where your experience is met with compassion, insight, and care.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in talk therapy that is both supportive and thought-provoking. I aim to ask the kinds of questions that gently challenge you, help you connect with your values, and foster clarity amid uncertainty. Whether you’re processing fear, loss, identity changes, or relational shifts, I’m here to walk alongside you through it.

I strive to offer therapy that is empathetic, calm, and attuned to your unique needs. By meeting you where you are and honoring your pace and story, I aim to create a space where healing and growth can unfold naturally. My areas of specialty include coping with cancer and chronic illness, grief and bereavement, caregiver
support, adjustment to diagnosis, and medical trauma and anxiety. You don’t have to go through this alone.
