Welcome! I’m Meredith Stoner Heath (she/her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Wisconsin and Illinois. It’s not easy to accept help or to open up to someone new. I believe when clients feel safe and accepted, they are able to make the most change, so I strive to provide an empathetic and compassionate environment that is free of judgement where clients can feel open to sharing their feelings and struggles. During our sessions, we will collaborate together to develop personalized goals that will help you to make the changes you want to see in your life and improve your overall health and well-being. I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, addictions, life transitions, difficulties with work-life balance, postpartum issues, and family/relationship conflict. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and I help clients of all genders seeking support with exploring gender identity or sexuality, coming out, or transitioning. If you are struggling with any of the concerns above and are seeking a safe space to work through them, I am here to help whenever you are ready!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will begin with brief introductions and then move into the issues that bring you to counseling and your personal history. You will never be forced to talk about anything you are not ready to share! The information gathered during our first session will help me to walk with you as we create our treatment goals together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, transparent, and direct, and I believe these qualities are what help me to develop a connection with each of my clients that is necessary for them to feel safe and open to change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps us to connect our thoughts, feelings, and behavior together so we can make sense of what we are experiencing. I use CBT techniques and activities in session and I encourage practicing those skills outside of session by occasionally assigning "homework" to clients, since practicing outside of session is the best way to see progress!
