The journey toward establishing a mental health counseling practice was uniquely inspired by the experience of rescuing our sweet shelter dog, Bentley, who struggled deeply with anxiety and health issues stemming from trauma and neglect. Watching his healing process unfold revealed profound parallels to the human experience—reminding us that healing is possible with the right support, consistency, and care.
Bentley’s story is truly inspiring. When we found him, he was terrified of the world—fearful of people, other animals, loud noises, even new environments. He was lethargic, overweight, and on anxiety medication just to cope with daily life. But through consistent compassion, patience, training, and a complete shift in his nutrition and movement routine, he slowly began to change and heal. Eventually, he was able to wean off medication, overcome his fears through gentle exposure, and regain a sense of joy, confidence, and safety in the world.
And let’s be honest—like any true millennial dog mom, I want the best for my dog and tell Bentley all the time that he is living his best life. Because he really is! What I didn’t realize at the time was that the kind of life I was building for him—one of safety, intention, and holistic care—was also the kind of life I deeply desired for myself and for others.
That realization became the heart of Live Your Best Life Counseling Services. Just like Bentley, we believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and reclaim a life that feels whole, purposeful, and authentic. With the right environment, support, and tools, you too can overcome fear, release what’s holding you back, and truly live your best life.
Following Bentley’s story of healing and transformation, Stephanie began to reflect deeply on her own wellness journey. After navigating years of health challenges, it became her mission to help others who were struggling in similar ways. She learned—through experience—that true healing doesn’t happen by focusing on just one area of life. It comes from nurturing the whole self.
By tending to her own mind, body, and soul, Stephanie began to experience a new kind of peace and alignment. It wasn’t about perfection; it was about authenticity. That lifestyle shift became the foundation for helping others do the same.
At Live Your Best Life Counseling Services, our core focus is holistic well-being, honoring the deep connection between emotional, physical, and spiritual health. We believe mental health does not exist in isolation—it’s intertwined with the way we nourish ourselves, move our bodies, rest, connect, and live in alignment with our values and purpose.
Our approach recognizes how unaddressed mental health concerns can impact everything from nutrition and sleep to chronic health issues or a sense of spiritual disconnection. We understand that without tending to these foundational areas, it can be hard to feel whole or reach your fullest potential. That’s why we’re committed to walking alongside you—supporting your journey toward holistic healing, personal growth, and a life that feels meaningful and grounded.
