About Stephanie Underwood, RSW
Registered Social Worker
I firmly believe that the path to healing involves diving into our inner selves, understanding and embracing the deepest aspects of our being. This process of self-discovery serves as the catalyst for genuine healing. By unraveling our own stories, getting to the root of what makes us who we are, we can begin to change our perspective of the world and of ourselves, marking the beginning of a transformative journey toward healing.
The extensive experience of working in mental health and crisis intervention has allowed me to see the profound impacts of integrating a trauma-informed approach in my practice. This approach is now at the core of my professional social work practice.
I am dedicated to a holistic approach that considers every facet of an individual's well-being—physical, emotional, mental, and social. I am committed to delivering the most effective and comprehensive care by addressing all dimensions of my clients' health.
