About
Hi there, I'm Stephanie! Stephanie Van Houten LCSW, CADC-III- I have over a decade of experience specializing in working with individuals who are suffering from alcohol and drug addiction. I also assist clients with anxiety, general mental health, and self-esteem concerns. My approach In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients as they fulfill their goals. My focus I typically work with clients that suffer from anxiety, alcohol and drug addiction, women's mental health concerns, and self-esteem and relationship issues. My communication style We are not defined by our past, and you are not alone as you move forward. My first priority is to make sure that you feel safe and heard, and that I am here to support and empower you as you begin your journey to positive change. My style is client-centered, collaborative, and solution-focused. You are the expert of your story and I honor that every step of the way. My journey to therapy My journey to becoming a therapist began with the heartache of seeing so many people I cared about impacted negatively as a result of addiction. I know firsthand how addiction and alcoholism can destroy relationships. Seeing this all around me challenged me to go to school and learn how I could help. School allowed me the space to become well-versed in anxiety, stress, and general mental health concerns. I have worked in many different practice settings, including private practice, inpatient and outpatient programs, community mental health clinics, social model detox, and sober living. My goals for you Together, we will complete the intake process and establish goals that are geared to what you would like to work on. I encourage feedback from my clients along the way so we can adjust things as we move forward. We will work closely to identify coping skills, stressors, and concerns.
