Stephanie Heath, LCSW

Hi, I’m Steph!  I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) providing warm, compassionate, creative and client-centered therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.  I am incredibly passionate about building connections, growing trust, and joining individuals on their journey toward better mental health.  I love to make mental health treatment accessible and whenever possible, fun.  I firmly believe that everyone possesses immense creativity and resilience, and I love helping people bring these qualities to the surface.

I am passionate about working with teens and adults who are dealing with mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, trauma and LGBTQ+ related stressors.  I have a particular interest in helping pregnant and postpartum people cope with anxiety and depression and adjusting to becoming a parent. I provide a non-judgmental, affirming therapeutic space that is built on trust and collaboration.

I have extensive experience using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  I also have received comprehensive training in the use of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy in the treatment of OCD and related disorders. I enjoy incorporating narrative therapy concepts and expressive arts into when it is beneficial for the client! I draw on many different treatment modalities to tailor the treatment plan to the needs of each individual. I am also excited to take over facilitating our longstanding Emotion Explorers Group for elementary aged clients starting December 2025.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Syracuse University and since then, I have provided clinical care in community mental health and partial hospitalization program settings.  Prior to my journey as a social worker, I earned my Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Cincinnati where I specialized in glacial geology.  

I offer afternoon and evening sessions out of the Norfolk office and virtually.
