I've been a therapist for a lot of years and have a lot of vary diverse experience ranging from individual, couple/relationship, inpatient and outpatient therapy and even training as a hostage negotiator. I've been a certified hypnotherapist, have a background in spiritual counseling as well. As such, I'm not limited to one approach to helping my clients but can offer multiple approaches that fits the individual the best. I have expertise in both mild and severe mental health related issues. While I don't believe that I have all of the answers, I am confident that I can provide ideas, methods, and approaches that are probably very new or different than what you have already currently experienced. My goal for therapy is to find what works best for you, in order to get you feeling and functioning better sooner rather than later.

Stephen is such an understanding, experienced, and amazing therapist. I was very skeptical of going to another therapist. And now I have never been more excited to speak to one. Because he understands my needs and knows how to use his skills and communication to where I understand better. Truly amazing and I highly recommend.

I have found Steve to be attentive, empathetic and aware of what is important to me. He talks straight (which I like) but doesn’t put me under pressure (which is important bc of my experience w bullies). He is sensitive to my faith and I feel I can be myself when conversing with him. I’ve been unable to have sessions w him these past two weeks bc of circumstances at home and I miss hearing his bits of wisdom.

I have been going through some depressive conditions for quite a long time. But fortunately for me, I had a chance to be consulted by Steve Yates. He is not only a professional in therapy, He is so kind, supportive, and attentive during sessions. His ideas of how to overpower stress and anxiety are innovative, remarkable, and inspiring. After the first session, I had felt myself a different person. A person with hope for a better future. I DEFINITELY recommend him as your future counselor. You going to find relief for yourself within Steve sessions.
