Stephanie Graham

I am a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin. For the past 20 years, I have provided psychotherapy to both individuals and couples whether they seek therapy over the course of months or years. 

I believe (and research consistently shows) that the best predictor of successful therapy is the quality of the working relationship between the therapist and the client. Like any other relationship, much of that bond is based on “chemistry”—a hard-to-pin-down quality that has to do with personality and style and whether we tend to see the world in similar ways. For this reason, I encourage potential clients to shop around a bit before selecting a therapist. One therapist is not exchangeable for another. Not only do we use different therapeutic approaches, but we also differ as people, and that affects whether there is a synergy and an understanding that will help the therapy along.
