stephen Van Schaick, LCSW

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma specialist with over 8 years of licensed experience working with Children, Adolescents, Adults and Families. My background is in working in all areas of emotional health issues as well as psychiatric and spiritual.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma specialist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals experiencing varying levels of unwanted mental health obstacles. An office and couch was not my style to impact others, so I built my career coming to them, working with clients inside residential treatment, in-patient psychiatric, and in-home counseling with high risk families. By having worked for the high risk community, I can say not only have I heard "almost" all, but I've been there and carried some of the battle scars too. I've always preferred environments where I've had to give my best work but work fast with client's who did not have the time or patience for a more drawn out treatment.

It's been my desire to specialize with those clients who were dealt the most challenging of hands. I'm accustomed to working in areas of depressive episodes, panic and anxiety, broken family relationships, life stressors, parenting issues, abnormal psychiatric, spiritual issues, and traumatic experiences.

While I may utilize multiple evidence based treatment strategies, inner healing doesn't come in a box, and is different for everyone. I take limited clients so I can be fully present with everyone.

Our professional relationship and your trust in my care for people and confidence to help them overcome, I hold as my greatest skills.
