Therapeutic Healing

This website is intended for people and professionals wanting to know more about personal healing and growth following a disability. Far too often, disability has been perceived and described as a negative event but it doesn’t have to be that way, especially given the fact that many learn to view their situation in a much more positive light. Positive coping following disability means that people learn to deal with, move past, and rise above their situation so they can strive to create the life they seek.

Dr.Stuntzner has much experience working with people with disabilities. Dr. Stuntzner teaches and is a part-time faculty member in rehabilitation and mental health counseling programs, counsels, supervises people working on their counseling license, and provides trainings to professionals seeking to learn more about disability and serving people with disabilities. Dr.Stuntzner is passionate about helping people find their way to a better place following disability and working with people as they learn new ways of coping and living life when disability is a part of it.
