therapy for helping you reclaim your past, embrace the present, and shape your future.

HI, I’M TANA.

Tana Steffens, LCSW, therapist at Empowered Stories Therapy

Sometimes the hardest part is reaching out.

Whether you’ve spent many seasons in therapy or this is your first time, connecting with someone new to see if the pieces click can be exhausting.

We might be a good fit if…

…you want to stop replaying difficult memories.

…you find yourself stuck and controlled by your emotions.

…the inside of your head feels like a hard place to exist right now.

…you want to explore parts of your identity in an affirming space.

attend an initial session

We spend the first session getting acquainted and giving you space to get a feel for the flow of things. We’ll generally talk logistics, goals, and approach, with zero expectations for clients to delve into any trauma history they don’t want to disclose on day one.
