Stefanie Funke is a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed by the State of California. Stefanie has worked as a psychotherapist for over 10 years. She works to create a safe, comfortable, and healing space in which people can explore challenges, patterns, preferences, successes, and strengths. Stefanie believes self-awareness is key to personal growth. She is certified as a Gestalt Therapist by the Pacific Gestalt Institute. Gestalt therapy is an approach that promotes self-awareness—of what you are doing, how you are doing it, how you can change yourself, and, at the same time, to learn to accept and value yourself. Stefanie has experience working with people struggling with issues of depression, anxiety, addiction, disordered eating, loneliness, anger, grief, and more. Furthermore, Stefanie has special expertise with working with people with disabilities. As an above-the-knee amputee and therapist, she has had personal and professional experiences that have given her special insight into living with a disability. She believes that everyone’s experience is unique and that we can learn from each other.
