Meet Stephanie Rios, LMHC, QS

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL #MH15456)

Qualified Supervisor for Mental Health Counseling Interns

For over 19 years, I’ve helped individuals work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. My career includes work across substance abuse treatment facilities, non-profits, and private practice settings.

Diverse Clinical Background

Throughout my career, I’ve provided specialized care for:

  • Adults, Teens & Families

  • Veterans & First Responders

  • Educators & School Professionals

  • Stoneman Douglas Shooting Survivors & Families

  • LGBTQ+ Community Members

My Therapeutic Philosophy

Real growth requires real conversations. My office is a space where you can let down your guard, cry, laugh, swear, and process what’s truly going on. I bring humor, compassion, and honest feedback into my work to help you break through feeling stuck.

You don't have to navigate this process alone. If you are ready to put in the work to create a better future for yourself, I'm here to support you.
