About me

Hello! My name is Steven Nurkin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I have over 10 years of experience working with as a therapist. I began my counseling career working with people diagnosed with HIV. Over my career, I have focused on helping people challenged with substance abuse and other compulsive behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and intimacy/relationship issues.

First, I’d like to congratulate you on your decision to ask for help. Reaching out is the first step, and for most people the hardest step, on your journey of change and to leading a happier, more fulfilling life.

I believe that you already have the keys to solving and resolving your own issues. After all, you are the expert on your own life. My job is to help you find the keys that you may have misplaced somewhere along the way. I do this by creating a safe, judgment-free zone to understand exactly where you’re at, both situationally and emotionally. Working together, we will then come up with a custom-tailored plan for you employing a variety of interventions which are brief, solution-focused and cognitive or cognitive-behavioral in approach. I firmly believe that meaningful results for many issues can be experienced in just a few sessions.

I am looking forward to working with you!

Steven's approach and kindness has fundamentally changed my life and how I view it. You will find no better individual to work with. I value and appreciate him very much indeed.

I have been working with Mr Nurkin for about two years now. He has worked me on anxiety at my work, relationship issues, neediness as well as helping to grow self my confidence.

I will recommend Mr Nurkin as a therapist any day. He has really helped to improve my well-being. I have managed to learn useful coping strategies for my day to day life. He helped me reframe my thoughts and look at troubling situations in a different way. Now when the same situation arises, I try to look at it differently.

I am thankful for the counselling Mr Nurkin has given me. If you are looking for a good therapist, I’d strongly recommend that you try talking to Mr Nurkin.

This experience is the best thing happened to me. I’m with Steve for two months now and I’m learning about myself every session. Steve listen carefully and never judge your words.. he is very supportive, nicely pointing out what you are missing and leads you to come up with your own solutions/plans.
