Getting to know Heather Stout

Hi, I'm Heather Stout! I'd love to meet you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience working with a variety of ages and challenges statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and mood disorders. I am passionate about helping clients understand their experiences, work through their challenges, find confidence in themselves, and manage whatever life brings. My approach is client-centered, empathetic, and non-judgmental. It varies depending on who I am working with, as everyone is different. I am trained in several evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Brainspotting, which I draw from while working collaboratively to address the goals that are most important to you. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds. Life inherently includes trauma and relationship challenges-whether with friends, family, school, work, or significant others. I am most comfortable treating trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and mood disorders. I also have experience working with personality disorders. People I have worked with describe me as down-to-earth, calm, and validating. I'm also known for having a sense of humor and openness that others find comforting and relieving. My journey to mental healthcare has been both personal and professional. Throughout life, I've noticed that people often come to me to share their stories and leave feeling relief and gratitude. As a therapist, I'm frequently asked how I do what I do, and my answer is that I've been fortunate to witness people heal throughout my career. I approach goal setting collaboratively, focusing on what matters most to you.
