We can all use an un-biased, confidential person to talk with. Throughout life, everyone experiences periods of stress, grief & sadness, go through breakups, endure family & parental stress, or struggle with pressures at work. Sometimes we may need extra support navigating through, and adjusting to life changes. In therapy, we will work as a team to facilitate your treatment goals with a solution focused approach. We will nurture your emotional & social well-being, increasing personal growth and self-acceptance, while gaining a stronger sense of personal self-worth, life satisfaction, and increasing the ability in maintaining healthy relationships.

At Blackhawk Family Development Center we strive to provide treatment that goes beyond symptom relief. Fundamentally, we believe that each person can achieve happiness and that happiness can be cultivated through internal resiliency. All of our services are steeped in a strength based approach. Whether we are working with a child, adolescent or adult our therapy and assessment services offer the opportunity to develop the positive self concept that promotes interactions fueled through resilience, innovation and positive intention.

As the parent of a high school or college student, it is heart-wrenching to witness your child struggle without knowing how to ease their burden. Lately, you've noticed they're often anxious & overwhelmed, trying to balance academic pressure and extracurricular demands. The college transition, physical changes, and social pressures leave them feeling insecure & burnt out. You may have noticed they're really hard on themselves even when they don't deserve it. All the upcoming changes are piling onto their existing stress, and you're unsure how to help them when they push you away.

We can get stuck in patterns in our relationships at home or work that are stressful and depleting. I welcome couples struggling with unhealthy dynamics, individuals who want support managing emotions, moving through significant life changes, living with trauma, adverse childhood experiences, anxiety and depression, or just building effective communications.

Finding a therapist who is the "right fit" for you can be a challenging process; however, it is key to the success of therapy. Starting with a complementary phone consultation can be the first step where we can discuss your needs and desired outcomes. In my work with clients, I focus on creating a safe, supportive and collaborative space where you can have a positive therapeutic experience. I like to partner with clients in creating meaningful goals that will guide our work together. My goal is to help you gain insight into current challenges and develop effective strategies for managing them.

I am passionate about helping people build self-confidence, move beyond fears and worries, live with a greater sense of purpose, and feel more connected to friends and family. I love to help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, communication and relationship issues, or low self-esteem and confidence, because I believe that there is always a way to move forward. Helping people live their best lives is my greatest joy.

Do you ever ask yourself, "Why do I keep doing the same things but expect different outcomes?" Or "Do I look at the world differently than all my family and friends?" Life can feel stressful, overwhelming, and out of control at times. I try to help life feel a little bit more manageable and work through issues at your own pace. Psychotherapy is about an exploration of self and the world around you. As a psychotherapist, I am here to provide guidance through this exploration in a safe place and to improve interaction with those you love.

Trained at Yale University. Your choice of a Doctor, a Clinical Psychologist, is one of the most important decisions in your life. You are entrusting the Psychologist with your hopes, dreams and solutions. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Steward is committed to you. Problems can be solved. With a brief assessment involving a thorough interview (and testing, if needed) we can determine the key issues and explore the solutions best for you. It is important to have a Psychologist who is well-trained and who cares about you.

Choosing a therapist from all of these pictures may seem overwhelming. Well, look no further, because I can help you. I offer individuals and couples a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to reduce your anxiety, heal old wounds, strengthen your relationship, help in life transitions, or reduce disruptive behaviors or addictions that are getting in the way of you being your true self. Individual and group therapy options available (discreet group therapy offered for sensitive topics ). Please contact me, and we will make an individual plan for you to get started making your tomorrow a little brighter.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience. I continue to practice, yet in a narrow scope of interest. I am offering psychotherapy only to returning patients, as well as those seeking services for social anxiety, and performance anxiety (with an emphasis and sports and athletic performance). Additionally, I offer executive and leadership coaching, which falls outside the purview of psychotherapy.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I offer compassionate therapy for change, helping people move from merely surviving to thriving. I work with clients struggling with a variety of issues such as: surviving after divorce, life changes, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, food/body image, addictions, and trauma/PTSD. Every effort is made to exceed clients' expectations by working with an individual's strengths to address, confront and finally overcome challenges. I provide a warm and supportive enviornment, enabling clients to build a solid foundation for a confident future.

Therapy is a safe space to explore changes you'd like to make in yourself and in your relationships. Depression, anxiety and anger are normal parts of the human experience and we all suffer to some degree, but when our usual coping skills fail us and we can't shake these feelings it's time to get support. Change is difficult, even when we want it. Getting guidance, support and accountability can help you to create lasting change.
