Meet Stephanie McCain, MS, LMFT
Trusted friend first. The Reframe Expert second.
For over two decades, Stephanie McCain has dedicated her life and her practice to one unwavering belief: that every person carries within them an innate capacity for healing, growth, and profound transformation. That belief did not come from a textbook. It was forged through years of clinical work, personal development, and a deep commitment to understanding the human experience in all its complexity.
“Enjoying the journey in spite of the circumstance.”
Her daily mantraHer path
Clinically grounded. Soulfully attuned.
Widely known as "The Reframe Expert," Stephanie is the Founder and CEO of True Alchemy Therapy and Wellness. Her path into the healing arts was not accidental. From early in her career, Stephanie recognized that true healing required more than symptom management. It demanded a holistic, integrative approach that honored the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
She pursued advanced training in EMDR therapy, becoming a certified practitioner recognized for her ability to guide clients through trauma processing with precision and compassion. She deepened her practice further through meditation facilitation and Reiki, weaving these modalities into a therapeutic style that is both clinically grounded and soulfully attuned.
My story
“We do not have to stay in relationships that hurt us. And you don't have to endure it, either.”
When I had my nonprofit, it was about recovery, too. Recovery, to me, means a willingness to change your mind about everything you thought you knew. When we come onto this planet, we come here intrinsically perfect. And then we are socialized by the people who we call parents, family members and society.
Recovery is coming back home to YOU.
Where the alchemy came from
It's already here. I just have to remember.
The beauty is in me. That's where alchemy came from: learning that all of my wants and dreams and desires are inside of me. I don't have to go and get it. I have to remember.
I want the world to know that all they have to do is remember who they are.
I use a combination of spirituality and psychology and my own personal life experience. I have a theology degree. I have a psychology degree.
Who am I in the squeeze?
Here's how I see it: life squeezes us so we can learn what's inside. Squeeze an orange and you get orange juice, not lemon juice. I don't mind the squeeze.
My father said, you are the only 6-month-old I know that would just sit up in your crib every morning and start singing. It's that story that keeps me moving forward and staying optimistic.
