I've worked with several different therapists over the years. I've never felt therapy was very helpful for me until working with Steve. He immediately identified my personality traits that made stressors in my life extra hard. I had felt the other therapist mislabeled me. Steve combines listening, asking reflective questions, and practicing techniques to help with my issues. He provides worksheet with additional and supportive information. He recognizes my own level of expertise and knowledge while providing me with new information and skills.
