Therapists in Perkasie, PA

In his 40-years' experience counseling individuals and families, Steph believes that a safe, trusting, and supportive environment is critical to confronting and addressing self-destructive behaviors and patterns. Although understanding how the past affects and shapes us is important, Steph's primary approach is to empower each person to accept that they have the ability and inner grace to create change, to move forward, and to decide upon a new pathway towards a more fulfilling present. His philosophy is that therapy is a journey with a clear destination... a stronger, empowered, and happier self.

I have been working in mental health and substance abuse for over 40 years. I can help those who want a well seasoned professional who can help you identify obstacles in your life and how best to overcome them. I still have people stay in touch with me from 25 years ago and let me know their progress. Trauma, stress, self medication, anxiety and depression are all topics i can assist with. Honestly, I can assess your situation usually in the first session or 2 and give you a pretty good idea of what direction therapy will go and where we would start.

Are you feeling stuck? Moving through a life transition? Wanting innovative tools for living a full, connected and satisfying life? We offer welcoming and powerful therapy groups and relationship coaching where we work as a team to develop new tools for living.

Are you interested in a Holistic and Integrative approach to Psychotherapy and how it can help you heal and grow? Perhaps you are searching for relief from life's stressors or from the overwhelming moods, emotions, and behaviors that result. And perhaps you are seeking healing of mind, body, and spirit, or you feel a deep sense that there is more to life than how you are living and are looking for a new way of thinking and being in the world. Through my unique approach to psychotherapy, I will assist you in finding and actualizing the healing you are searching for.

Do you desire to awaken to your deepest passion, to your life purpose, to your potential? Are you ready to craft a life and relationship of your own creative and bold design? Are you in the midst of a life transition desiring to more fully align with your core values and make space for more peace, passion and pleasure? Are you ready to up-level and transform your relationships and more masterfully connect, communicate and cohabitate? I'd be honored to partner with you and support you in creating a life that is in full alignment with your deepest desires, a life infused with joy and abundance, a life that you absolutely love.

Have you ever felt, "Why is this happening to me, I don't know who I am anymore!" Constant worrying, low mood, relational challenges, and life transitions can wear you down. Simultaneously, navigating multiple cultural contexts can challenge your values and world views, often creating dissonance about who you are. Within the mindful space of therapy, I can help you examine the nature of your worries, the frequent blues, your existing thinking style, responses to people and the world around you. Through collaboration, I can offer alternative ways of thinking and responding to challenges, and help develop an effective coping toolkit.
