(Stephanie Cerula, Evening Adult Mental Health IOP) “Stephanie is terrific. Not only is she caring, supportive, and encouraging, she runs an excellent group. Everyone got plenty of opportunities to give/receive feedback. Stephanie keeps things moving but knows when to slow down and “read the room” if an issue needs a little more attention. This IOP changed my life in so many positive ways. Stephanie’s group was exactly what I needed when I was at the lowest point of my life. I can’t possibly thank Stephanie enough for everything she did for me, and what she does every day for so many people.”

“(Stephanie Cerula, Evening Mental Health IOP) Stephanie supports and empowers folks struggling with mental illness. When I met with Stephanie C., for my intake, I had some things come up that made me emotional. Stephanie teared up as well, and she also did once in class when a member brought up some heavy things. Stephanie truly cares about others and it shows. Stephanie also gives great advice to help navigate members using any of the various coping strategies from the course.”
