Stephanie Van Houten

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.

My journey to mental healthcare

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.

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.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and creating a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and begin identifying goals that matter most to you. This is your time, and we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
