New to Grow
Hello, my name is Heather Stample LCSW. I have been doing therapy work for about 5 years and social work for 10 years. I love supporting and encouraging others. I joke I am a girls girl, a hype man, an encourager. I always wondered why I loved people so much and how to tap into that. Well, here I am, I figured it out. I want you to know how loved you are, how important you are, and to know you don’t have to keep doing this life all on your own. Sometimes, when we meet, something I say may sound confusing, but I promise you it will come full circle. I want you to be able to challenge yourself, be willing to challenge me when you feel uncertain, and be able to challenge life so you can start thriving again!
First sessions tend to be easy going. We work on building rapport with one another. I love to ask questions about yourself, your life, interests, family, dynamics, ambitions, goals, trauma, etc. I like to make the. Sessions a safe space. If you ever feel uncertain, bring it up. We are all constantly growing and refining ourselves daily. Just like you want to grow, I want to grow with you on your journey.
I am a great problem solver. I recognize patterns quickly. I love provided personal examples not to make sessions about myself, but to show you the rawness and realness of life. I am bold in my faith and will make sure you have encouragement in each session.
I love working with anyone and everyone. We aren’t supposed to do life alone. I am here to support you however possible. As long as you come to sessions ready to work on yourself so you can grow and thrive, this will be an incredible experience for you. You and I will create weekly goals that are manageable as well as 90 days goals so that way we can reflect on what has and hasn’t worked for you in this season of growth and healing. Genesis 50:20.
