I am Steven Band LPC, I graduated from Georgia State University in 2006, I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with over 14 years of experience working as a behavioral health counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse challenges, grief/loss and mindfulness. I also help many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive working with patients from diverse backgrounds. I appreciate the role that culture plays in understanding one's concerns as well as working toward solutions. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. In my free time I enjoy yoga and drinking coffee. I look forward to working with you!
