Getting to know Stephanie Van Houten

Hi there, I'm Stephanie! Stephanie Van Houten LCSW, CADC-III-I have over a decade of experience specializing in working with individuals 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 who experience 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 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 negatively impacted by addiction. I know firsthand how addiction and alcoholism can destroy relationships. Witnessing this challenged me to pursue education and learn how I could help. I earned my Master's in Clinical Social Work from California State University, East Bay, which allowed me 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 tailored to what you would like to work on. I encourage feedback from my clients along the way so we can adjust as we move forward. We will work closely to identify coping skills, stressors, and concerns.
