Hello! Welcome to my personal profile. I am Steve Foster, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist The majority of my experience has been in working with couples, married and otherwise, to improve communication in their relationships. "Taking the war out of words",and learning to take one another's perspective increase the likelihood of success in intimate relationships. I've also worked with those coping with substance dependency. I am a strong believer in the value of family, and in the power of living a clean and sober, recovery-centered life. Please feel free to call me to discuss your concerns.
We will work collaboratively. Cognitive-behavioral interventions and a deep commitment to healthy change will reveal your strengths. I will support and guide you in developing a positive thought system that supports your sobriety. We will develop a plan of desired behaviors to reinforce your personal goals.
Co-dependency issues are related to, and are often symptoms of addiction. Boundary-setting and clear, honest communication are the hallmarks of success in our relationships. We will work collaboratively to examine what is working for you in your relationships, and to explore potential solutions to what is not .
