Stephanie Hibbard, LCSWC

I am a clinical social worker who is dedicated to helping clients expand their lives with multiple modalities of psychotherapy since 2004.

I created SPARK Wellness with my husband, Mike, as a space for us to focus on connecting with and helping teens & adults who are looking to find their true potential and lead the life that they envision. As a therapist, I utilize a combination of approaches including EMDR, ERP, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, somatic and hypno-informed work to reach the deeper levels of what holds people back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

As a coach, I use my passion for self-help and humor to help clients identify specific forward thinking to achieve goals. Coaching is centered on gaining specific skills or motivation versus the deeper dive of EMDR or other therapeutic modalities. Coaching can be an adjunct to therapy or a stand alone modality focused on addressing challenges not associated with a mental health diagnosis.

I believe that individuals can find and achieve a life worth living even in the most difficult of circumstances. One of my favorite quotes is "It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." - Epictetus. Easier said than done - especially in the face of financial stress, medical issues, marriage discord, parenting stress, and lost sense of purpose, not to mention political climate, environmental climate, and technology/generational changes. Years of working with people fighting to find their way has strengthened my belief in Epictetus' quote and the potential that lies within.
