Stephanie Topazi, Social Work Intern

As a social work intern at Skidmore Counseling, I bring both heart and curiosity into the therapy room. I believe healing happens in safe, supportive spaces where you can show up exactly as you are—messy, complicated, or unsure—and still be met with compassion. My style is collaborative and person-centered, blending talk therapy with mind–body awareness, goal-setting, and creativity. Drawing from my background as a yoga teacher, I often integrate breath and other somatic practices to help clients reconnect with themselves and feel more grounded. I approach therapy with cultural humility and curiosity, honoring each person’s unique story and the systems they’re navigating.

My hope is to offer a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to build resilience, explore identity, and create a more authentic, fulfilling life. And while the work can be deep, I also bring warmth and humor—because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.
