I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. Currently practicing in Idaho focusing on mental health/behavioral challenges, but have also worked in Utah, Kentucky, and Indiana working with challenges related to mental health, behavioral health, addiction, relationships, personality disorders, culture, spirituality, rural life, and homelessness. Some of the therapies which I utilize is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.
I believe that healing and understanding occurs when there is a strong client-counselor relationship which is caring, non-judgmental, and focuses from the client's point of view. I believe in the resiliency of people and the importance of bringing to the surface internal strengths and values which individuals can use to empower themselves with the ability to move forward in their lives. I also focus on the power of connection, and how connecting, whether it be to relationships, spirituality, values, the present moment, nature, or ones-self, leads to healing and growth.

Stephen made a believer out of me. He’s the first therapist I’ve had any luck with. He’s great to talk to and has amazing skill helping me to change my thought process. After meeting with him weekly for about four months, the improvements I made were drastic and I owe it to his guidance. One of the things I appreciate most about him is how down to earth he is. Every other therapist I’ve seen has been caught up in their own ego but Stephen really is salt of the earth and approachable.

Easy to use
Written on Sep 27, 2022 after therapy with Stephen for 2 weeks on issues concerning coping with life changes
I can't say enough good things about Stephen Bunnell. But I think the best review I can leave him is that I'm paying for this out of my own pocket. I've had a referral out there for over a year. I got a call a couple of weeks ago that my number came up for a therapist that my insurance would cover. No thanks! The relationship, understanding and progress I've made with him is worth every penny. If want a down to earth therapist that will truly help you navigate through this journey you need him.

Stephen has been incredibly helpful in a myriad of ways, through separation, trauma and a whole host of changes. At the very, very least I always knew I had someone to talk to, who was safe, and who laughed at my jokes. He's been a godsend!

Stephen is a caring, funny, understanding, and talented therapist. He knows how to ask the right questions to help you understand yourself and your situation better. He is good at reading people and knows when to be humorous or serious appropriately.

Stephen is very easy to talk to and he seemed to understand what I was trying to express. He very much focused on having me recognize the feelings I had and why. He made sure he understood what I wanted from therapy. I’m using my free sessions to shop around and he is definitely on the short list.
