Getting to know Stefan Heise

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use concerns. My approach is collaborative and practical — combining evidence-based tools like CBT with a supportive space to slow down, untangle patterns, and find new ways forward. I’ve worked in both hospital and private practice settings, supporting individuals through life transitions, relationship challenges, and moments of crisis. Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of directness and warmth — someone who listens deeply, but also offers concrete strategies that work outside of sessions. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward clarity and balance.
