Report
As the owner and clinical director of Transformation Counselling, I can honestly say that Stephanie Huls is a therapist of the highest caliber. She is super smart, passionately dedicated to her personal and professional development, down to earth, and hilarious, and she also has one of the kindest hearts Ive ever had the privilege of encountering. I regularly refer friends, colleagues, and even our own prospective clients to her, and I always know that with Stephanie they will be in the very best of hands. Thanks for bringing such beautiful healing and light into our world, Stephanie!
