About Dr. Chalk
Stephanie Chalk, PhD, LPC, NCC
I am a psychotherapist, licensed professional counselor, and educator with specializations in trauma and neuroscience. As a therapist, I serve children, adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of presenting concerns. As an educator, I provide workshops, seminars, and courses for professionals, students, and laypersons. I am trained in existential-humanistic and cognitive behavior therapy, and incorporate experiential techniques into my work. I am also trained in strategic family therapy, child custody evaluation, and parental reunification therapy. I believe in the potential for growth and healing in all individuals, valuing each person's unique strengths and experiences. In addition to my work with Two Rivers, I am the Associate Director of the School of Counseling and an assistant professor at Marymount University.
