Life is hard and at times can leave us feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. This is not a sign something is wrong with us, but that we are daring to really live. Whether you are seeking to become a better version of yourself, struggling in an important relationship, or facing a life transition, therapy can provide the support you need to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them to become more present to themselves and others, enabling them to experience more peace, love, and joy in their daily lives.

Sometimes in life, we feel stuck, we don't know where to go, or we just feel confused. Therapy is a great place to start when tackling big - or little - life questions! A good working relationship between a client and their therapist is extremely important; due to this, I feel rapport building is one of the key elements in beginning the therapeutic relationship. My passion lies in working with family dynamic changes, daily life struggles, crisis, victims of trauma, and depression/anxiety.

There's so much keeping us alienated from our true selves. Our lives are impacted by systemic oppression, generational trauma, cultural pressure, relationships, and even ourselves - interactions that cause harm and leave us feeling unsafe and unseen. The symptoms of these impacts, if not annihilating, leave us disconnected, discouraged, drained. I believe that therapy is a process of changing our relationship to ourselves and our experience so we can transform our presence in the world around us. We have much to heal from and the more we’re aware of our systems, selves, bodies, and triggers the better we are at living.

My name is Caleb Stephens, and I am an Intersectional Clinician. The reality of therapy is that it is inaccessible to most, and the majority of therapists gear their therapy around themselves, and not around the needs of the client, nor the layers of identity that exist. I am not a traditional therapist, as I am also an Activist, and the majority of the work that I do is Identity work. This is about meeting you where you're at, and I'm here for it.

The methods I use are relational approach and evidence based which have proven results for my clients.
Do you ever look around yourself and wonder how in the world you got to this point? Everyone has problems, but it's particularly messy from where you stand. Trying to look past the issues doesn't have the same charm anymore. You are apprehensive to ask for help, but too exhausted to navigate it alone anymore. The good news is I help individuals and couples just like you who want things to change. Whether you are wanting to heal relationships, navigating personal trauma, dealing with infidelity, struggling with personal identity, or facing a life transition, therapy is a great place to start.

As an attachment therapist, we’ll look at how your symptoms are not a reflection of some personal flaw, but rather as a symptom of a larger relational problem.
It can feel very nerve-wracking to think about starting therapy and overwhelming in trying to find the right therapist. Truly, the hardest step in this journey is taking that first step by reaching out. My passion is in helping you lift the burden you’ve been carrying and identifying ways of bettering your relationship with yourself and others in your life. Many people struggle with feeling like in order to be strong they need to push through and avoid the hurt they’ve been carrying, and that shows up in detrimental ways in their relationships and in their careers.

My approach to mental health counseling and high performance psychology does not focus simply on symptom reduction (i.e., removing difficulty), but rather aspires to honor what is good and right about you, and what makes each day worth living according to your beliefs, identities, values, and enriching relationships. My aim is to provide a space that invites exploration of challenging yet vital places of growth in the service of what is most important to you in your life. In particular, I have passions supporting people's resilience to shame, perfectionism, and anxiety.

Relational Therapists
How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.
Is relational therapy evidence-based?
Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.
How long are people typically in relational therapy?
Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.
Does relational therapy work?
While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
