Testimonials


See what others are saying about Vitality Wellness

“My husband and I are getting divorced and my daughter has had a very difficult time through this. Stephanie helped her realize that she is normal in her thoughts and behavior. Through various techniques she has helped change some of the behaviors that were not good. Her kind mannerisms and the way she listens have helped her understand other’s behaviors and how to respond to them. Stephanie  called me to discuss her progress and her assessment of my daughter’s behavior was 100% accurate. My daughter has seen other professionals in the past but has really matured and grown happier with Stephanie’s help!”

Parent of Adolescent Client

“Having battled depression, anxiety, and PTSD at different times over the last 30+ years, I certainly understand the importance of finding a mental health professional that has a variety of tools to help their clients based on their needs and comfort levels.  Stephanie Mcllvaine and Vitality Wellness are compassionate, empathetic, easy to talk to, trustworthy, and have the resources and training to accommodate their clients. The talk and EMDR therapy that I had with Stephanie helped me let go of past trauma and find some peace. The neurofeedback therapy that I experienced has allowed me to be more present and focused in my daily life.”

Chris

“After some significant life changes, I struggled with intense anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Stephanie’s unique capacity to listen and validate my experiences was tremendously helpful in terms of facilitating healing. In addition to being a calm refuge, she worked with me to try different modalities of treatment until we found what worked. I work with many therapists and whenever anyone asks for a referral, Stephanie is always the first person I suggest reaching out to.
