Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Mintz.
Hi Stephanie, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My path to Strategic Relationship Consulting has been anything but linear. It began when I was diagnosed with OCD in fifth grade—a time when little was understood about it, especially in children. Participating in a groundbreaking drug study changed my life and taught me the power of innovative solutions. Over the years, I pursued a variety of careers—from acting and inventing a patented children’s product to working in hospitality—before deciding to become a therapist.
During my training and private practice, I quickly realized that while traditional therapy is valuable for certain needs, it often left clients waiting weeks or months to see change in their day-to-day lives. I wanted something more immediate and effective. So, I began developing my own method—asking precise, content-focused questions, identifying the exact points where communication broke down, and creating actionable strategies to fix them. Over time, I refined this approach into what is now Strategic Relationship Consulting—a completely unique, results-driven alternative to therapy. Today, I work with individuals, couples, families, and even business partners around the world, helping them strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and achieve lasting relationship success.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. I spent years searching for my true calling, trying multiple careers that didn’t quite fit. When I finally pursued therapy as a profession, I almost gave up because my approach didn’t align with traditional models. I had to trust my instincts and create something entirely new—a leap that came with both risk and resistance.
Another challenge has been educating people that there’s an alternative to therapy that can deliver faster results. Many only think to search for “couples counseling” or “marriage therapy,” so part of my work has been showing them that Strategic Relationship Consulting is different—and often exactly what they’ve been looking for. The journey wasn’t easy, but those challenges shaped my business into the exclusive, highly personalized service it is today.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Strategic Relationship Consulting?
I founded Strategic Relationship Consulting to give clients immediate, tangible relief from relationship struggles. Unlike therapy or counseling, my method works from the outside in—focusing first on actionable strategies that create quick, positive changes in daily life, which in turn transform thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
I specialize in working with:
Couples (from my Marriage By Design program for engaged couples to marriage strengthening and conflict resolution)
Generational families (including in-law dynamics)
Business partners (improving communication and collaboration)
My programs are highly tailored and include step-by-step strategies rather than vague suggestions. This precision is what sets my work apart—and why many clients see dramatic improvements between their very first and second meetings.
I’m most proud that my brand is known for exclusivity, discretion, and results. Clients trust that I will be both their biggest cheerleader when things are going well and their determined partner when challenges arise. Whether through my signature six-meeting program, my Marriage by Design premarital package, or my ongoing concierge service, every client receives the highest level of attention and privacy.
What makes you happy?
Helping people feel joy, peace, and connection in their relationships is my greatest source of happiness. Seeing clients walk away with strategies they can use for a lifetime is incredibly fulfilling. I also genuinely enjoy the process itself—the detective work, the creativity, and the problem-solving.
Outside of work, my dog Zoe brings me daily joy. She’s pure love and silliness, spreading happiness to everyone she meets. I’m also deeply connected to my family, and I cherish our time together filled with laughter. Traveling, discovering new experiences, and even playing weekly Canasta with friends in my community all add to the happiness that fuels my work and life.
