Is Steff a licensed therapist?
No, and she's upfront about that. Steff offers mentor support coaching based on her lived experience. This is not clinical therapy. If you are in crisis or need mental health treatment, please reach out to a licensed professional or call/text 988.
What is mentor support coaching?
It's guidance and support from someone who has actually lived through similar experiences — not a textbook approach, but a real human who gets it. Steff walks alongside you with honesty, warmth, and practical insight.
What areas does Steff specialize in?
Foster care, adoption (traditional and non-traditional), IVF and fertility, teen and unplanned pregnancy, NICU and premature birth, blended families, and general life coaching for people feeling stuck or navigating major transitions.
How do sessions work?
Sessions are held via video or phone — no app downloads required. Once you book, you'll receive all the connection details in your confirmation email. You can also meet in person if you prefer.
What happens in a free intro call?
It's a relaxed 30-minute conversation to get acquainted, hear a bit about what you're going through, and see if working together feels like a good fit. No pressure and no commitment required.
How much does it cost?
The free intro call is completely free. A 1-on-1 session (60 minutes) is $80. The 3-session package (three 60-minute sessions) is $220 — saving you $20 compared to booking individually.
How do I pay?
Payment is handled securely through Stripe at the time of booking via Calendly. Major credit and debit cards are accepted.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. You can reschedule through the link in your confirmation email, or reach out to Steff directly at steff@thetrailblazerjourney.com.
Is everything I share kept private?
Yes. Steff treats everything shared in sessions with the utmost confidentiality. Because this is coaching rather than clinical therapy, formal HIPAA rules don't apply, but your privacy is deeply respected.
Can I work with Steff if I'm not local?
Absolutely. Sessions are available virtually to anyone, anywhere. You only need a phone or a device with internet access.
