Welcome
My name is Stephanie Gast (she/her). I provide therapy as an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist at a private group practice in Fullerton, CA called Gather & Grow OC.
My role is to create a non-judgmental space filled with empathy, understanding, & unconditional acceptance. Using my laid-back and gentle-humored nature, I create a space that feels comfortable for you to process & explore.
Therapy can be a vulnerable space asking you to be open-minded, honest, & self-aware. I strive to be just as transparent, honest, & authentic as I encourage you to be.
