Lance Stern, LCSW
I am a licensed professional psychotherapist regarded as intuitive, patient and kind. My diverse professional background in combination with my lifelong dedication to guiding others through emotional challenges has informed my unique empathetic approach to psychotherapy.
I approach therapy with the belief that each person holds the solution to achieving their personal goals, however obscure or illusive those solutions may initially appear. My goal is to guide you on your path to clarity and self-awareness. In our sessions, I will assist you in confronting difficult topics in a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment.
Often, the hardest step is deciding to seek therapy. However, once you have taken that first step, we will build trust and begin to achieve your goals. Whether you are looking to accept yourself without judgment, communicate better with others in your life or just better understand what you want, we can get you there together.

Emerging Adults
Navigating young adulthood comes with a unique set of challenges. Parents’ expectations and youth expectations don’t always align. I can help you explore your path of self discovery as well as balancing exploring and achieving your needs and desires with the pressures of the external world. Together we can work toward actualizing your personal expectations in healthy ways.

Couples
Relationships ebb and flow naturally. When we don’t feel heard by our partners, communication can break down and mutual happiness can feel far away. I can help you individually and together to find clarity, build communication skills and thereby repair the dynamics of your relationship.
