Meredith Stockton, LCSW

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified yoga instructor located in Chicago, IL. I received my Masters in Social Work (AM) from the University of Chicago and a Masters in Social and Cultural Psychology (MS) from the London School of Economics. I completed two honors Bachelors degrees in Psychology and Sociology at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, MN. I've been working in the mental health field for almost a decade, including outpatient substance abuse clinics, nephrology social work, group psychotherapy practices, and trauma-informed yoga classes. I started my own practice in 2020 to provide tailor-made services to my clients. My favorite setting to work in is one-on-one with clients, virtually or in-office, where we can gossip (therapeutically, of course), and comfortably challenge you to change what isn't working or accept and integrate the fun of dysfunction.

​

I'm committed to empowering adults through mindfulness-based psychotherapy, like Acceptance and Behavioral Therapy (ACT), and individualized wellness coaching programs. Unlike some stuffy wellness settings, I emphasize authenticity and encourage sense of humor in our sessions to make clients feel comfortable being themselves.  A good laugh at ourselves not only lightens the mood, but it can be a very powerful therapeutic tool. Life is too serious to take seriously sometimes.

 

All of my services are inclusive to the BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent communities. I strive to provide clients compassionate and non-judgmental care, however, I cannot speak for my one-eyed cat who will most definitely judge you during our session.
