About Steffanie Stecker

I’m Steffanie Stecker, Psychologist & Practice Coach

Therapists come to me when they’re ready to find freedom from burnout and step into confident leadership — whether that’s running their solo practice with ease or expanding into a thriving group model that doesn’t take over their life.

I’m the founder of Mountain Vista Psychology, a Colorado‑based group practice with multiple locations and an incredible, values‑aligned team.
 Building that practice taught me something vital: the key to success isn’t working harder — it’s building smarter and leading from your core values.

Now, through Created Connection Coaching, I teach therapists how to do the same through practical courses and personalized coaching that blend business strategy and mindset work.

Why I Started Created Connection Coaching

When I launched my first private practice, I had no blueprint — just big dreams and even bigger exhaustion.


Over the years, I faced every obstacle a practice owner could: hiring missteps, system breakdowns, financial confusion, and burnout that threatened to undo all my hard work.

Through trial, error, and persistence, I built a practice that now runs smoothly with strong systems and an empowered team.

I created Created Connection Coaching to share that roadmap with other mental health professionals — because you don’t have to learn it all the hard way.
