Stephen Newton spent his entire teenage and adult life going from physician to physician trying to get answers to the health problems that plagued him. He was finally able to get a diagnosis of classicallike EhlersDanlos syndrome (clEDS) in 2019 from the partnership of his Primary Care Physician and Physical Therapist.

Now, with a coordinated care team as support, he is able to pursue his Master's in Counseling Psychology to try to be able to support those experiencing chronic illnesses.
