Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at stevie@drsteviepena.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Sessions are offered both in person in Coconut Creek, FL, and online through either Simple Practice or Psychology today's online platform. 

And you may feel strongly about either online or in person, or you may feel the needs change as your experience with treatment changes. And that's great! I have clients who only come in the office, and others who see me from their car (parked safely in a parking lot). 


 Dr. Stevie helps people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and ADHD. 


Like dating, not all client/counselor relationships work. AND THAT'S OKAY. Dr. Stevie knows how important therapeutic alliance is to your wellbeing, and she is there to help. Speak up! Let us know, and we will help guide you to your 'one'.


Therapy and coaching work best when you are comfortable and able to get vulnerable. To do this, you have to feel safe. This means confidentiality is a MAJOR component to treatment. Dr. Stevie keeps medical records with only pertinent information to medically justify treatment (for therapy), and basic informational notes for coaching. Since privacy is a big deal (and she has had to share her notes with the court...and learned their impact), she is VERY careful to maintain your privacy.

Unless you are going to hurt yourself, others, children, or the elderly. Then there will be an open conversation about the limits of confidentiality for these specific issues.


All these 'things' didn't arise over night, and it will take a little while to learn, practice, and utilize new ways of doing things. But that doesn't mean you need coaching forever. Therapy lasts as long as you need. Some people feel great after 6 sessions. Other people feel good having monthly check-ins. 

Length of coaching matches your needs with your desires outcomes.


First off, so sorry that has been your experience.

Secondly, what are your goals for coaching, and how can we get there?

Coaching often doesn't work when there isn't a good fit between coach and client (and that's okay). Just like dating, it can take a while before finding 'the one'. I encourage people to talk to therapists on the phone or have a video consult before booking the first appointment. Humans are really good at judging fit within the first 5 seconds. Then try out the people you feel connections. If it doesn't work, that's okay...because when you find 'the one', the work is magical.


 It comes down to what you're dealing with and what you want to achieve. Therapy is focused on mental health, digging deep into emotional challenges, past trauma, and anything that might be holding you back. It often requires a diagnosis, uses insurance, and can be a longer, more intensive process. If you’re looking to heal, work through deep-rooted issues, or manage mental health conditions, therapy is the way to go.

Coaching, on the other hand, is about getting things done. It’s goal-specific, action-oriented, and doesn’t address mental health diagnoses. If you’re an entrepreneur who needs guidance on tackling specific challenges, staying accountable, or getting organized, coaching might be the better fit. Coaching is more structured and focuses on moving forward with a plan, without diving into emotional or mental health issues.

Sometimes, you might need both—if deeper stuff comes up during coaching, we can pivot to therapy as needed and then get back to the action once you're ready.


Yes, I specialize in coaching ADHD entrepreneurs. ADHD can make things like staying organized and following through challenging, but I help you use those ADHD traits to your advantage and get things done.

That said, even if you don’t have ADHD but struggle with things like focus, time management, or accountability, you’ll still get a lot out of this coaching. It’s built to help anyone who wants more structure and real results.


If you call during socially acceptable times, Joelle does answer the phone. She is a real person, and super helpful.


Oh my gosh is she helpful! She is caring, listens, and will work her hardest to make sure you, the caller (or texter) gets the right information or support.
