Stephanie Dahl, LPC

Stephanie Dahl is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep passion for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults through trauma-informed, relational care. She holds a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling with an emphasis in Childhood Trauma and Disorders from Grand Canyon University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Coaching from California State University, Sacramento.
 

Stephanie specializes in trauma-focused therapy and integrates play therapy techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients across developmental stages. While much of her work centers on children and teens, she also works with young adults navigating trauma, life transitions, emotional regulation, and relationship patterns. Her approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens through safety, connection, and meaningful relationships — regardless of age.
 

Throughout her career, Stephanie has supported clients in schools, community programs, and outpatient settings. She has extensive experience working with children ages four through adolescence, providing individual counseling, emotional regulation support, de-escalation, and social-emotional learning, while also supporting caregivers and adults in building insight, coping skills, and healthier relational patterns.
 

In sessions, Stephanie strives to create a space that feels warm, collaborative, and empowering. With children, she incorporates creativity, play, and developmentally appropriate interventions to help them feel safe and understood. With adolescents and young adults, she offers a grounded, relational approach that supports deeper self-awareness, emotional connection, and growth at a pace that feels respectful and attainable.
 

Outside of her professional work, Stephanie enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. She loves playing indoor and sand volleyball, finding joy in movement, and connecting with others through shared activities.
