My name is Stephanie Zepeda-Ledezma, I’m a first generation Mexican-American. I was born and raised in South Lake Tahoe, California. My whole life I’ve always wanted to be in a helping profession. With that goal in mind, I decided to attend The University of California, San Diego where I obtained a degree in psychology and human development. After graduating from college, I went back to my hometown to be around my support system. There is where I started as a dual domestic violence/sexual assault advocate. After a couple of years of gaining real life work experience, I decided to go back to school, and I attended the University of Southern California and obtained my master’s in social work. Since graduating in 2019 I have been practicing therapy. Now as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I own a virtual private practice providing therapy for people living in California in English and Spanish.
