Professional statement

Dr. Stephanie Kerrigan is a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the association between physical and mental health, high-achieving individuals balancing career and personal life, and individuals undergoing moments of transition (career changes/loss, new parenthood, retirement, etc.). She provides virtual care across Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida.

Dr. Kerrigan has extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, and uses evidence-based approaches to help clients work towards their goals. Her style is active and collaborative. She strives to gain a deep understanding of each patient and the changes they want to see in their lives. She believes therapy can be a valuable tool helping individuals to adjust well to new circumstances and gain new perspective.

In addition to her private practice, Dr. Kerrigan provides consultation on workplace wellbeing programs for several organizations. She has also worked across many hospital systems (including UPenn, Cooper University Hospital, and Rush University Medical Center) providing care to both inpatient and outpatient adults.


Message to clients

My goal as a therapist is to explore new skills and ways of thinking to help each client deepen their understanding of themselves as individuals and how to navigate difficult moments. Sometimes clients come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to get out of it, and other times clients aren't quite sure but just know something feels "off" and they want to feel better. Either way, therapy offers a unique space to learn new things and practice new skills in a nonjudgmental environment.

I see all of my clients via teletherapy (so, over a video session). This can make it easier to find time for therapy, feel more comfortable, and practice new skills while in your own setting. Finding the right therapist for you is an important process; if you think we might work well together, please don't hesitate to reach out.
