Stephen Michael Schuch
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, BCD
With over 30 years of clinical practice, extensive continuing education, and an emphasis on what works rather than on what’s wrong, I tailor my approach to the specific needs of each individual, couple, family, and group for whom I provide service. Using proven methods, I am able to offer, among others, supportive, interactional, brief problem-solving, cognitive-behavioral, including trauma focused cognitive-behavioral, and relational psychotherapies. Common themes among my clients are concerns related to relationship difficulties, bereavement, mood disorders including depression, anxiety, childhood behavioral problems, eating disorders, compulsive and additive behaviors, and difficulties related to specific life circumstances.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work with sub-specialization in Practice with Children and Their Families. My memberships include: Pennsylvania Society for Clinical Social Work, Academy of Certified Social Workers, National Association of Social Workers, Employee Assistance Society of North America.
My Columbia address houses Windswept Stables which provides nature-based, creative arts, and equine related activities, including the use of horses with treatment, personal development, and team development.
Complementing my private practice is experience with inpatient, outpatient, & partial hospital psychiatric services, foster care, adoption, program evaluation, training, supervision, and mentorship.
