Dr Sam Von Reiche & The Center for Transformation

Dr. Sam was instrumental in helping me overcome chronic fatigue syndrome. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate, and incisive. Each session felt purposeful, and I could genuinely feel the improvement in my health over time. Her empathy is real, her guidance is practical and holistic, and she has the ability to help you heal both physically and emotionally. Working with Dr. Sam has been a joy, and I’m deeply grateful for the renewed energy and quality of life I’ve gained. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with chronic or complex psychological issues.

Steph review

I have been a client now with Stephanie Shapiro for a year and can truly say my life has completely flourished from where it was prior to her counseling.
My process started as a marriage counseling session with my husband. We were in a bad place. Lack of love, communication and silent conflicts, which we would choose to avoid communicating on.
During our beginning in couples therapy, my husband had expressed he wanted to separate. It wasn’t a shock, more a naivety that I thought, “Well, that won’t happen”. It did happen. Lawyers were put in place and separate living had begun. We continued to go to sessions with Stephanie despite what our future was already looking like.
Today, it is almost 1 year to the date that I found out my husband wanted a divorce and we are STILL married and better than we have ever been! We both owe that to ourselves but even more so to Stephanie’s help and counseling.
Stephanie has taught us (and continues too) so many important lessons and skills that we truly didn’t have prior to meeting with her. There is no space filled with tension in our home that we cannot find a solution to today. That is strictly because of all the tools Stephanie has given us as a couple and individually.
My husband and I are no longer individuals living like we are roommate’s and masking issues & avoiding conflict. We are a husband and wife who have understanding of each other’s needs and concerns. We have love in our home, where for years it felt empty.
During our sessions with Stephanie, I also decided to continue on a personal counsel with her as well. I have suffered from depression, anxiety and began to use alcohol as a coping mechanism for all of my problems.
I had been in 2 programs and can honestly say that the best care and treatment I received was from Stephanie. While programs are great, it was Steph’s work that helped me to understand the true meaning of my drinking habits.
There was never a judgement or feeling of shame when sitting with her and describing my habits. Instead, she sat with me and helped me to understand how and why I would choose these outlets instead of others. My mind had been opened in a way I never thought possible.
Within this year of working with Steph, I am a version of myself I envied seeing in others. Now, I am that reflection I always wanted.
My depression is a memory of my past, my anxiety has become a fraction of what it was and most importantly I am still my husband’s wife.
My life would have been a complete different version of the one it is today had I not decided to set into her office.

I’ve been seeing Stephanie from Dr. Sam’s office for several years on and off to manage my symptoms of ADHD and their impact on my work/life balance. Stephanie really helped me in this area to prevent and overcome burn out often experienced by me due to my symptoms and assisted me in better managing them.

At one point over the years, certain issues arose with my relationship that I didn’t anticipate. Despite my primary focus in therapy being my ADHD and career stressors, Stephanie seamlessly adapted to an entirely new issue in my life that I needed help navigating. She was able to switch gears with ease, and truly helped me through some of the hardest moments of my life. Stephanie assisted me with working through these obstacles in my relationship individually and through some couples sessions with my now husband. Stephanie’s counseling made a huge difference in my relationship, and with her help, we developed an effective means of communication as a couple, and are more capable of solving difficult problems as they arise.

From working with Stephanie, I have become significantly better at managing my ADHD symptoms and their impact on my work/life balance, as well as developing a healthy relationship with my husband. Thanks to Stephanie, I now feel much more capable balancing the various areas of my life, and cannot recommend her enough.

I’ve seen Stephanie Shapiro on and off for 9 years. Besides from the normal help in therapy (being a great listener, advice, perspective, etc.) I really value how she is able to help you build strategies to use in your day to day life. Thank you Stephanie for all your kind words!

Dr. Sam is an incredibly healing person and a respectable professional. She has a keen sense of what a person must do to progress and is very much results based. I highly recommend taking her recommendations when she gives them if you want to improve your quality of life. She has legitimate empathy and quality insight. She is refreshingly authentic. When I leave the office I sense that I am progressing in the areas we focus on. Def recommend
