About Stephanie

Stephanie Berliant founded Better Life Therapy with a vision to bring a relational, human-first approach to mental health care. A therapist since 2013, Stephanie has held roles in eating disorder treatment, the criminal justice system, senior services, and with families involved in child protective services.

Stephanie was inspired to start Better Life after serving in organizations with leaders who spoke more about business operations than clinical operations. Having witnessed first-hand the impact this approach has on patients and providers alike, Stephanie believes that both the financial and clinical aspects of a practice can be balanced without sacrificing patient care and has made it her mission to create a practice that exemplifies excellence in both.

As owner, Stephanie leads Better Life’s strategic, clinical, and operational direction. She provides supervision and case consultation to clinical leadership, manages community engagement and business development, and co-manages grants and special programs, including the NHSC Loan Forgiveness Program. She also oversees payroll, benefits administration, and quality assurance, ensuring that Better Life Therapy delivers consistent, high-quality care while supporting the growth and wellbeing of its clinical team.

I’ve worked in several treatment settings before private practice, including an eating disorder treatment center, an autism treatment center, a center providing services to children and families in the foster care system, and at in-home with seniors. These experiences have given me a wide range of tools and treatment approaches that I use daily with clients.
