Stephen Spires

My communication style

My communication style is calm, steady, and non-judgmental. I prioritize creating a 'slow' space where you have the room to breathe and process your thoughts without feeling rushed. I listen for the themes beneath the surface and offer grounding observations that help you connect the dots of your own experience at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with over a decade of service in a children’s psychiatric hospital. Witnessing the incredible resilience of children in their most vulnerable moments inspired me to become an LPC. Those 15 years taught me that healing is always possible, even in the toughest circumstances.

My goals for you

My focus is on helping you rediscover the strengths you already possess and using them to tackle your current challenges. We’ll define success on your terms, creating a clear vision of what a healthier life looks like for you. I provide the accountability and encouragement you need to step out of your comfort zone and into the life you deserve.

Our first session

Think of our first meeting as a collaborative consultation. We’ll discuss your current challenges and what you’ve tried in the past, while I share more about how my approach can support you. My main goal is to ensure you feel safe and understood. By the end of the hour, we will have identified 1-2 primary focus areas to start our work together.

I identify as...

• Cis, Male
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
