I am the founder of My Life Speaks Counseling & Coaching, where I walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they heal, grow, and reclaim their voice. Counseling is not simply my profession—it is my passion and calling.
I bring over 25 years of experience in counseling and coaching, including six years of post-licensure clinical practice, serving individuals across educational, community, and clinical settings. My clinical background includes work with acute psychiatric populations at Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center, as well as extensive experience in substance abuse treatment, trauma-informed care, and youth mental health.
I especially enjoy working with couples, supporting them as they navigate communication challenges, relational patterns, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices while honoring each client as the expert of their own life. I believe our life stories are not fixed—when supported, they can be reframed, rewritten, and strengthened.
My academic training includes a Master of Divinity and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University, along with an undergraduate degree from The College of New Jersey. In addition to my clinical work, I spent 15 years as an educator, which deeply informs my work with children, adolescents, and families.
I bring particular insight and advocacy for parents of children with special needs and offer coaching for lifestyle change, growth, and personal development. I have served my community in many capacities over the years, and it remains a privilege to join people on their journey.
At My Life Speaks, I believe that with support, awareness, and commitment, new chapters of healing, resilience, and hope are always possible.

Welcome to My Life Speaks Counseling and Coaching, where your story is not just heard, but cherished and nurtured. I am Stephanie Bradley-Blue, M.Div, LPC, and I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. Imagine you are carrying a book of life, each page filled with experiences that shape who you are. Perhaps you're struggling with the weight of past chapters, or maybe you're at a crossroads, unsure of which direction your story should take next. You might be seeking understanding, healing, or growth. Your goals are to find balance, to heal from past wounds, and to write a future that resonates with hope and fulfillment.

Using a varied counseling approach, I combine empathy and goal-focused principles with diverse methods to create personalized treatments. I work to help you reframe your story by reshaping thoughts and beliefs that create unhealthy patterns. Our holistic journey together promotes empowerment and transformation.

Your life tells a story, and every story has its difficult moments. But within those pages lies the potential for rewriting and growth. If you're ready to start a new chapter, to transform your story into one of strength and resilience, please reach out. Together, we can explore the pages of your past, present, and future, and create new chapters of hope.
