My name is Dr. Steven S. Carter. I am a research and clinical psychologist whose career began in The Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My work involved the study of Anxiety, Depression and Bipolar Disorder. I have been trained in Interpersonal, Cognitive and Behavioral therapies. I am currently in private practice. I offer individual, couples and family therapy. Recently, I have been working with families to help them understand family members who do have a mood disorder. My approach is to listen and learn from you. I think this is the best way to build a trusting relationship between us.

Are you looking for a therapist to get you unstuck on your journey through life? Are you hitting roadblocks on your path to your emotional well-being? Do you need help or assistance resolving obstacles at this point in your life? Or do you need to be heard or find your voice?

On our journey it can be helpful to have someone to help us read the narratives which often define our lives. Some of those narratives keep us from experiencing what we want for ourselves now and in the future. Since graduating with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2010, I have been working as a therapist with people in various stages of life. A relationship between a therapist and client can provide someone with a deep reflection of how they live and are experienced. I believe therapy can give us the opportunity to rediscover our story in a new way. Real change is possible.

We could all benefit from a non-judgmental person who will listen to us, collaborate and empower us to make changes in our lives. I am a strength based, solution focused therapy. I encourage and support individuals, couples and families to achieve wellness by providing a safe environment for processing emotions mindfully and teaching coping skills. I focus on guiding individuals in cultivating a healthy balance in activities and relationships while learning to cope with life’s stressors. https://www.therapyportal.com/p/transforming15701/.
