I’ve only had a couple couple sessions with Mr. Gengenbacher and he’s very easy to talk to and very compassionate and understanding. He’s opened my eyes to things about myself that I wasn’t aware of just by listening to things I say and how I word them. I can’t recommend him enough and I plan to continue my sessions with him.

I have been meeting with Steve for almost a year, and he is hands down the best therapist I have ever had. He listens, helps you determine what YOU want to work on or talk about, is completely non-judgmental, and is one of the best all-around people I know. He will push if you want him to, and also just let you talk to figure out the path you need. I tell everyone I know about how incredible he is.

Honestly when I first saw Steve’s profile his portfolio instrested me in way the previous many did not at all. I decided to just view my first session as a conversation. I found out quickly his years of expertise was an unbelievable asset. After a more than a dozen therapists I truly believe Steve is one of a kind.
