Hi! My name is Stella Cook, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in practice for about 20 years. As a social worker, I approach emotional well-being through the lens of your health, your environment, and your own understanding of yourself. I consider myself skilled at working with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, working through major life transitions or decisions, challenges with fertility, and foster care/adoption/parenting-related stress.
My overall approach to therapy is compassionate and judgment-free. I welcome you to work with me if you have a specific goal in mind - I believe in the power of short-term therapy. But if we have the time, I want to understand who you are, what you're imagining for yourself in the future, and what is getting in your way.
Through a combination of theoretical approaches such as CBT, IFS, and Motivational Interviewing, well move you closer to the changes in your life you are seeking, always at a pace that you are comfortable with.
