Welcome
My name is Stephanie Gast (she/her). I provide therapy as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist at a private group practice in Fullerton, CA called Gather & Grow OC.
My therapeutic approach honors the multidimensional nature of healing: emotional, psychological, and spiritual. I offer a warm, gentle-humored, validating space for clients to untangle from survival adaptations, explore their deeper truth, and come home to themselves.
I work with clients who are ready to heal from familial or relational wounds, form a loving relationship with their inner child, embrace empowering transformation, and reclaim their authentic selves. I support clients on a path of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, or those who simply feel that traditional therapy hasn’t fully spoken to the deeper aspects of their healing.
If you're drawn to tarot cards, astrology, or metaphysics—but also crave depth, structure, and clinically grounded wisdom—you’re in the right place.
