Knowing what to say when you get there is a different kind of hard.

you made the appointment... or you're thinking about it

Either way — something brought you here. Something has been nudging you toward the page, toward the office, toward the idea that maybe you don't have to keep carrying this alone.

These prompts are for that moment.

Not "what are your goals for therapy" prompts. Not clinical intake questions. Real prompts — the kind that help you get honest with yourself before you get honest with someone else.
The kind that help you find the words.

or you've been thinking about thinking about it for longer than you'd like to admit.

Hi, I’m Steph...

MEET YOUR NEW JOURNALING BESTIE

I still have my journal from third grade.
I've kept one most of my life — through heartbreak, hard seasons, and the quieter moments that don't have names yet.

Journaling has helped me find the words when I couldn't find them anywhere else.

After years of sitting with women in my therapy practice — watching them search for language for things they'd never said out loud — I created Write As You Are.

A place where the page becomes a starting point, not a performance.

These prompts are the beginning of that work.

already know you're ready to start?

If you're in Huntsville or anywhere in Alabama — I'd love to be the therapist you bring these pages to.
