Stefanie Niesz, MSW, LICSW

Co-Founder, Social Worker, Coach, PEERS® Facilitator

My Role

I lead day-to-day operations and work closely with my redpoint team, providing supervision, oversight and guidance. On the client front, I lead new-client assessments/consultations, facilitate PEERS® Social Skills Groups, work 1:1 with individuals, and provide support to families. I work closely with providers in the community, keeping up-to-date with available resources to ensure continuity of care for our clients. When needed, I also support clients and families in crisis – navigating the complexity of insurance, facilities, discharge planning, safety planning, etc.

Working Style

Relational, caring, compassionate, collaborative, creative, honest and easygoing

Beyond redpoint

I enjoy travelling, scuba diving, DIY projects, gardening, hiking, cycling, relaxing by the fire and spending quality time with my family and friends.
