I help stressed, burnt-out perfectionistics learn how to chill out and enjoy life. Whether you're a high-powered tech worker or healthcare professional, it’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Too much self-control, or "overcontrol", makes it difficult to relax, be present, and meaningfully connect with others. Overcontrol can lead to anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and loneliness. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist helping neurodivergent/neurocomplex, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folx get unstuck for over 12 years.

Welcome! I’m Meredith Stoner Heath (she/her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Wisconsin and Illinois. It’s not easy to accept help or to open up to someone new. I believe when clients feel safe and accepted, they are able to make the most change, so I strive to provide an empathetic and compassionate environment that is free of judgement where clients can feel open to sharing their feelings and struggles. During our sessions, we will collaborate together to develop personalized goals that will help you to make the changes you want to see in your life and improve your overall health and well-being.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (cbtmindful.com). I see therapy as a space of honest exploration of who you are, what is most important to you, and what is holding you back from living a more fulfilling life. My role is to listen carefully and compassionately so that, together, we can identify patterns, especially ones that aren’t leading you to the life you want. Then, I use a creative and collaborative approach to help you make changes in how you relate to yourself, how you show up in your relationships, and how you make decisions, big and small.

I help people who are looking for healing that goes beyond short term support or symptom relief to a deeper understanding of the whole person. I don't just help people change behaviors and their lives, but I help them figure out why these symptoms appeared in the first place by uncovering the unconscious reasoning behind patient's thoughts and actions rooted in their unconscious minds and help them change those thoughts/behaviors so they can change their lives and walk in their genuine identity. I help people be who they really are by caring for and cultivating healing in their spirits and minds.

My approach centers on building a supportive relationship in which you feel empowered and open to growth. With compassion and acceptance, I’ll walk beside you to make the changes you want to see in your life. We’ll use Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and other brain-body modalities to build coping skills, utilize your strengths, and maximize your potential.
I have additional training in ADHD and enjoy helping neurodivergent people improve emotional regulation skills, interpersonal effectiveness, and self-accommodations. I also specialize in helping navigate and optimize during the perimenopause / menopause transition.

My approaches include: 1) working toward understanding how your life experiences have come together to bring about your current thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and life circumstances; 2) using concrete and structured homework assignments to help you achieve your goals, resolve relationship issues, find greater happiness, and develop greater control over anxiety, depression, or anger; 3) discussing philosophical and existential aspects of life as they relate to your concerns; 4) providing support and empathy when life brings you hardship or pain; and 5) helping you to articulate your needs, desires, and goals, and to develop plans and solutions to help you satisfy them.
I prefer to look at clients as whole individuals (or whole relationships) rather than diagnoses. As such, I am likely to focus on issues like making sense of your life, improving your relationships, making healthier choices, and finding joy in your work.
