Stephanie Heimann

Stephanie Heimann welcomes visitors and appreciates their decision to explore counseling as a step toward emotional health and growth. She invites prospective clients to review her profile to determine whether her approach feels like a good fit for a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

With 15 years of clinical experience, Stephanie has worked in a variety of settings including clinic, residential, hospital, and school environments. Her work has focused on supporting families, youth, and adults across a range of concerns.

Stephanie strives to create a warm, welcoming, non judgmental, honest, and empowering space. She views each person’s story as unique and believes that an individual’s perspective plays an important role in how life events are understood. She listens for a client’s point of view and partners with them to set goals that reflect their priorities. She also acknowledges that therapy can feel uncomfortable at times and that growth often requires challenging established ways of thinking and learning to tolerate discomfort in order to emerge stronger.

Her approach is primarily person-centered, allowing clients to direct their goals and identify what they want to work on. She also uses solution-focused techniques to highlight what has worked well in the past, cognitive behavioral strategies to address the relationship between thoughts and behavior, and dialectical behavior therapy when support with acceptance and emotional regulation is helpful. Stephanie values creative and restorative elements such as music, animals, humor, and connecting with the outdoors as complementary to the therapeutic process. She is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Missouri.
