Stefani Shepard
New York

As a Behavioral Health Care Manager, MSW, and U.S. Navy veteran, I support individuals in building the skills, self-awareness, and resilience they need to move toward the life they want. I work with adults, adolescents, families, and BIPOC and marginalized communities across anxiety, depression, ADHD, and substance use. My approach is strengths-based and action-oriented. I meet people where they are, lead with cultural humility, and believe every person already has something powerful to build from. I'm passionate about making mental health care feel accessible, equitable, and real.

How I stay healthy and happy
I stay healthy and happy by getting outside for walks, moving my body in wellness classes, savoring a good cup of coffee, cuddling with my dogs, and soaking up quality time with my family.
