Licensed Associate Counselor
Hi, I’m Stephanie Lamb, a compassionate therapist at Gathered Connections Counseling in Surprise, Arizona. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or simply ready for something to change.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, caregiving stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe being yourself, talk openly about what you are going through, and feel genuinely understood.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and individualized. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing, so I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, goals, and pace. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients better understand patterns, develop healthier coping skills, process difficult experiences, and build greater emotional resilience.
I also believe therapy can include warmth, humor, self-compassion, and practical tools that help you feel more grounded in everyday life. Whether you are managing anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, grieving a loss, caring for someone you love, or adjusting to a major life change, I want therapy to feel like a place where you are supported rather than judged.
The connection between therapist and client matters deeply to me. I strive to create a counseling relationship built on trust, respect, and authenticity so you can feel comfortable showing up as your full self.
If you are looking for a therapist in Surprise, AZ for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, or life transitions, I would be honored to support you as you move toward greater healing, confidence, and emotional well-being.
