Stephanie Mewes, LMSW, LCSW
(She/Her/Hers)
Preferred Name: Stephanie
About Me
I am licensed in Michigan (LMSW) and Illinois (LCSW). I have worked with adolescents and adults, many of whom have struggled with different mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, adjustment disorders, bipolar disorder, and relationship conflict. With my clients, I strive to foster a safe, non-judgmental place for healing that solely focuses on your goals and needs. I use a client-centered and strengths-based perspective to help facilitate the process of self-discovery and growth. My therapeutic approaches include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as incorporating aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I offer individual EMDR therapy sessions on a weekly or biweekly basis. I also offer EMDR Intensives.
Education & Experience
I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Michigan in 2014 and received my Master of Social Work from Wayne State University in 2016. I completed my EMDR basic training in December 2021 and became an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist in November 2022.
Professional & Volunteer Affiliations
I also have experience guiding all-level yoga classes and yin yoga classes as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I have extensive trauma training experience, including being a Certified Clinical Trauma Practitioner (CCTP). I am also a volunteer clinician with the Michigan Tri-County Trauma Recover Network.
