Stacy Atebefia, LCSW

Licensed in: Florida, New York
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Years of Experience: 4+ Years

I became a mental health professional because I wanted to help others, particularly children and adolescents. 

I understand the importance of self-care, not just for yourself, but because taking care of you is the foundation for being able to help and support others.

I work with patients and your families through a client-centered approach, helping to identify your goals and objectives, and finding practical ways to meet them. 

I believe mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. My role is to empower you to make positive changes, supporting you on your journey to get to a better place than where you are right now.
