Getting to know Lea Stevenson

Lea is a Licensed Social Worker who primarily works with adolescents, young adults, and families. She supports clients in identity exploration, including sexuality and disability identities, as well as anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. She believes that therapy is most effective when it begins by meeting people where they are. She recognizes that each person brings unique perspectives and experiences that shape what healing and support look like for them. She creates an affirming space where clients feel empowered to explore, grow, and connect with healing in ways that feel authentic and meaningful. Her work is informed by family systems theory, trauma-informed care, and queer theory. She understands that relationships, identities, lived experiences, and the broader social systems and institutions people navigate all shape mental health and well-being. Lea integrates psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavior (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches into her work with clients. Lea received her Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University Chicago, specializing in Clinical Social Work. She is a neurodivergent, queer woman. In her free time, she enjoys painting, rollerblading and sewing.
