Stephanie Straub of Stephanie Straub Counseling

Stephanie Straub, LMSW is a Licensed Master Social Worker, working at a small group practice in Central New York. She has a special interest in providing therapy in the areas of maternal mental health and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. She helps perinatal women stay connected to who they are as they navigate through difficult transitions including trying to conceive, grieving a loss, and managing postpartum emotions. She helps partners figure out and manage their own feelings related to these challenges and provides education for how to best support the mother during this time.

When she’s not working Stephanie spends time with her two little girls and husband, enjoying time outdoors or reluctantly exercising.



For Consult Monday, we discuss:

• Make contacts and sell yourself as a counselor with a specific niche who currently works with a specific group practice, not as a member of the group practice.
• How to setup your current clients for referral if you can’t take insurance or chose not to.
• Best practices for separating from your current practice when you’re ready.

For What I Wish I'd Said Wednesday we discuss:

• Your niche does evolve.
• Enjoy where you are and focus on person to person connections. Don’t worry about the letter heads.
• Meet with the medical staff who serve your populations and that let them know there’s a next step to treatment.
• Be known for who you are before you figure out the rest of your practice.
• Land your message. Be the relief they search for.
• Know your licensure and state regulations - you may be able to start a private practice sooner than you think.
