About me

My name is Steve Weiss and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona. As an experienced therapist with years in the field, I am committed to my clients' journey of recovery from whatever is challenging or interfering with their quality of life. My clinical specialties are couples and family therapy, as well as individual counseling for life issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, stress management, and relationship difficulties. I also work with addiction and personality disorders. My clinical philosophy is to start where my clients are at; I understand that changes are difficult and ultimately a choice. My approach is to empower clients to look at their strengths and challenges, and assist them in deciding what changes they wish to make. I am also comfortable in working with clients whose faith is an important part of their lives. I strive to always be transparent and "clinically humble", and understand that the client is the expert regarding his or her life. Finally, therapy for me starts with the therapeutic relationship which I work to develop with all my clients, so we can develop a supportive, therapeutic, treatment environment.

Excellent therapist. He has brought me a long ways in a short period of time. My life has taken a 180 since seeing Stephen Weiss. And in only 2 or 3 monnths.

I have seen two other counselors before Stephen (not on Better Help) and truly I have never had such a positive experience before. My previous counselors were focused on hearing about my feelings, and Stephen has helped me understand them. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for two years, but I finally feel like I can breathe again. There's a huge change in how I see myself and how I have handled difficult situations. Stephen challenges me but also respects me and never makes me feel invalidated. I am thankful for him and the Better Help platform.
