Meet Coco Pebbles, Stenzel Clinical’s newest teammate. 🐾
She’s a 4-year-old Bernedoodle with a calm, grounding presence. She loves meeting people, cuddling on the couch, and helping clients feel a little more at ease in session.
Coco works with Ethan Kile, LPC. If a therapy dog sounds like a good fit, she’d love to welcome you.

Amie brings a warm, relational presence to her work with children (ages 2–12), caregivers, and adults.

🎉 We are thrilled to welcome Elayna Kramer, LPC to the Stenzel Clinical Services team!

Elayna is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She provides strength-based, values-driven, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming care across the lifespan — specializing in children, teens, and adults.
