Steve uses an integrative approach to best tailor to his clients individual needs, goals, and expectations. Techniques vary with a focus around CBT, a person-centered approach, and REBT. He also utilizes a Positive Confrontational approach, where he therapeutically challenges and confronts clients' negative perceptions, beliefs, assumptions, and automatic thoughts. Steve works with clients from all backgrounds on issues including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, and chronic pain.
Steve is a gender-affirming therapist. His work with LGBTQ+ clients spans all identities, covering all traumas, coming out, managing relationships, etc., while reinforcing positive identity affirmation. Steve conducts individual, group, and couples counseling sessions, providing a safe, welcoming environment while using a multidisciplinary approach.
Like a rollercoaster, therapy builds slowly; there’s an inevitable drop, peaks and valleys, but through trust-building, I’ll supply the tools you’ll need for a safe, steady journey while cheering your progress.
