Bio

Aysha Stephenson is a licensed clinical social worker with a deep commitment to supporting families during the critical periods of pregnancy/postpartum and early years of parenting and child development. With over eight years of experience working with young children (ages 0–5) and their families in both educational and clinical settings, Aysha brings a compassionate, knowledgeable, and strengths-based approach to her work. She currently holds an endorsement from the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health and has completed advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. She is actively working toward full certification in perinatal mental health, further enhancing her ability to support individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood.

Aysha has worked with a diverse range of clients—including children, adolescents, and families—addressing concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, pregnancy and postpartum adjustments, and stress. She has also provided infant mental health home-based therapy for over a year and a half, offering in-depth, relationship-based support directly within the family’s environment. Aysha specializes in working with parents and caregivers of young children, recognizing that there is no universal guidebook for parenting. Rooted in the philosophy that "it takes a village," she is passionate about helping families navigate the challenges and rewards of creating a family and raising children in a healthy, nurturing environment.

Her clinical approach incorporates relationship-based and attachment-focused methods, along with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and a person-centered lens. Aysha’s work is always grounded in a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective. She strives to empower caregivers by holding space for their experiences and providing tools, insights, and encouragement to help build strong, resilient family foundations.

Message to new parents

As a mom and a therapist, I believe that no matter where one is on the parenting journey, everyone deserves support, connection, and understanding. This journey is not meant to be done alone, I'm here to walk alongside you.
