Practice Nation, Meet Stuart Fensterheim, LCSW
Meet Stuart Fensterheim, he’s committed to growth and healing. From an early age, Stuart knew he wanted to help others overcome the immense struggles that so often stand in the way of happiness. He says, “Many of us engage in patterns of behavior that obstruct our sense of validation, which can create difficulties when it comes to connecting with others. A lack of strong connections can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, loss and fear. I believe that we all deserve to live comfortable, happy lives, as free as possible from these obstructions.”
To realize my hope to help others, Stuart received his Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland in 1985, where he specialized in individual and family counseling. He is licensed as a social worker through the Arizona State Board of Behavioral Health. Throughout the years, he has worked in many acute care settings as a medical social worker, a trauma social worker, and a Director of Social Services.
He also does private practice consulting with Joe (full disclosure).

Joe,
Every time I get in my car I turn on one of your podcasts, and I am always learning and motivated by them! I will often replay parts of them for my husband when I get home, and now he too is very motivated for me to keep building my practice! You have opened my mind to things I never even thought about, and I am so excited for 2015 and more growth for my practice. Thank you for everything…you probably have no idea your sphere of influence and the difference you are making for so many!
That is so awesome Tressa! Thanks for writing. I can’t wait to hear about your 2015!!!!
Oh my gosh, what kind words! Keep going, you’ll build a practice that grows your income and influence!
