Stephen Garlington, LCSWA

Accepting clients

Hi! My name is Stephen (he/him), and I help clients become the author of their own story.

“Your life doesn’t have to be shaped by patterns you didn’t choose.”

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling under appreciated at work, struggling to make sense of a relationship, or overwhelmed by thoughts/feelings. These experiences often show up when something in our environment no longer aligns with our needs, values, or sense of self.

I aim to create an environment that feels warm, open, and free of judgment. By working together, we identify the core issues behind what you’re experiencing and develop a practical plan to help you move toward the life you want.

Outside of my work you can find me watching the Ravens, attending a concert, or adding another stamp to my passport.

Stephen holds a Master of Social Work from The University of Pennsylvania and Bachelors of Social Work from Coppin State University.
