Hello. Thank you for the time. Life is quite the journey with many twists and turns that can make you feel stuck in painful experiences while forgetting the beauty that exists. I aim to create a safe, warm, and inviting space where one can discover their hidden strengths to overcome and prevail. There is not one thing or approach that gets a person into recovery or quality of living. Whatever is bringing you to step out of the cage and take notice to the discomfort around takes courage. I believe it’s a privilege to be invited into one’s most raw, vulnerable state and allow another to enter.

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!

Hello.... my name is Christine and I have been a clinical social worker for 24 years. Looking back at my young years, I found myself in helping roles as a child, assisting the elderly, the blind and the marginalized. I seemed to have a calling to the helping professions and was blessed enough to have recognized it. Once I entered higher education, I thrived with like-thinkers and was recognized for my academic achievements and was selected to give the commencement speech to over 5000 graduates representing the School of Social Work. I've served many years in direct practice and progressed into upper management throughout the years. To this day, I still feel rewarded each and everyday doing what I do best! I welcome you to embark on a journey that takes us in together to help you live the best life you can live.

Choosing a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to see how I can help. Therapy with me is probably not what you expect. My sessions are highly interactive, and I offer insights, ask questions to understand you better, and challenge you to look within. I focus on your unique strengths to help you grow. If you're stuck in an unhealthy pattern, I’ll point it out and help you find new ways to move forward. In every session and in between sessions, I give you useful tools starting from our first meeting. I am dedicated to helping you become free from emotional pain, deal with life on life’s terms, and find meaning in all areas of life. I accept insurance and offer (sliding scale) self-pay clients day, evening and weekend telehealth appointments. My practice is a safe haven for adults of all ages, whether you're seeking personal growth and change or navigating workplace challenges and anxieties. As a corporate coach, I bring years of experience and insight. I offer day, evening and weekend appointments, and strongly endorse free consultations to see if we are a good fit. I believe that life experiences inform and teach us. I have a rich history as a corporate coach, therapist, friend, marital partner, adoptive parent, single parent, runner, volunteer and writer. I am laser-focused on helping you learn new coping skills, and my extensive experience and library of tools and worksheets offer immediate support, and drive your progress. If you're craving a solution-focused approach that leads to rapid transformation and a return to a satisfying life, I can't wait to join forces with you to start this exciting adventure.
