Great to meet you!

My name is Lin Stephens, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with clients for over 30 years in a variety of settings. At this time, I am working exclusively with adults, as an individual client or as a couple. The issues my clients typically present include depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma or relational issues of the past. Others have experienced partnership issues, impaired communication, ineffective problem-solving skills. Other treatment areas may include transitional issues, life stress, parent/child issues, addiction, co-dependency, relational separation, divorce and coparenting difficulties. I also have a history of working with military members and their families through my in-office work with Military 1 Source and like services.

My approach to therapy

My role as your therapist is to help client(s) recognize their problems and as applicable, the origin of the problems, as that may be important to ensure the same will not continue to repeat in the future. Concurrently, we will work on building your strengthens; reduce barriers to future success, while enhancing your problem-solving and coping skills.

What you can expect from me

In practice, I will tailor my therapeutic interventions to your needs. I am empathetic and supportive. I am client-based and solution focused. While I tend to be direct in my engagement, your involvement is always greatly encouraged. I like to work with clients who are willing to assume an active role in their own treatment. Humor is always welcomed.
