Couples Counseling Therapists in Fort Wayne, IN

My ideal client is someone who acknowledges a problem exists, even if they don’t quite know what it is. The source of that issue can be discovered and processed through therapy, leaving the client with effective tools and skills to cope with and manage their emotions.

I appreciate someone with an open heart and a willingness to explore their inner self. I value individuals who are ready to engage and connect in meaningful conversations. I know it can be hard to take the first step for help, and look for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to collaborate in their goals. Trust, honesty, and a desire to change create a supportive connecting environment where healing and transformation can take place.

Do you feel that mental health providers ignore your spiritual health when treating your depression, anxiety, marital problems, PTSD, or other mental health issues? Is Christianity a significant part of who you are and do you feel unable to bring that up during counseling sessions? Do you feel like your mental health provider views your reliance on Christianity as unhelpful or possibly even a hindrance to successful treatment of your mental health issues? Do you avoid bringing up your Christian beliefs during healthcare assessments because of fear that the provider may look negatively on you? Most Americans will answer yes.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and therapist with The Aberdeen Group. I have dedicated a great deal of my academic studies to understanding the unique dynamics of relationships with our ourselves and others. I believe that as humans we all need to experience feelings of belonging and significance and strive to help others develop and maintain these two basic needs. I recognize that approaching a counselor for the first time takes courage and often comes at a difficult time in one's life. I hope you will find that our sessions are enjoyable and worthwhile.

I am very passionate about working with young adults, children (5-10), teens (15-18), and families. I identify as gay and strive to work with the LGBTQ+ community. Through my educational training and application of theoretical counseling practices, I strive to help clients navigate their way through anxiety, depression, past/present trauma, and other struggles. I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, but sometimes needs assistance in navigating life’s curveballs. I am fully affirming and strive to assist the LGBTQ+ Community in finding love and acceptance from others, but more importantly, for themselves.

Therapy is an opportunity for change. Our daily lives offer many different challenges, and these often hinder our opportunity for self-betterment. When assistance and guidance is needed to work through these challenges, and achieve change for the better, I am here to offer subjective and professional support. I offer a safe and inclusive experience for individuals of all backgrounds. Together, we will trust the therapeutic process, and work towards the change and goals we set forth to achieve.

Welcome to Wildflower Counseling LLC, I am happy you are here. I have learned both professionally and personally that life will continue to happen; the good, the bad, and the mundane. I also know that our experiences do not stop and while we focus so much on these experiences, we forget that it is not always about what happens but what we do or how we think about them. I also know how challenging it can be to walk through life's turmoils and the symptoms created that can take a toll on not only the mind but the body. My goal for client's is to feel more in control, shift perspectives, and release burdens to find healing.

Prior to working full time in clinical therapy, Stephen served almost 20 years as a pastor. During that time, he dedicated a significant portion of his ministry to counseling those struggling with various emotional, spiritual, and relational issues. Since then, Stephen has worked in both private practice and community mental health settings. He has teamed with clients from all age groups and diverse backgrounds to help them overcome life struggles, process through mental health concerns, and manage relationships and daily functioning. Trauma has increasingly been an area of focus for Stephen.

Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we need someone to come alongside us as we walk through life’s challenges. As a mental health therapist, I feel my primary function is working with clients to assist them in finding inner peace and to help them work through troubling situations.

My therapy space is designed to help clients explore, notice, and align with their needs and values, through further processing of internal and external experiences. The ideal client is on a journey to better understand self, others, and the world around them. Maybe they have some past trauma impacting functioning, or maybe the current season feels really hard and overwhelming. We offer deep curiosity about what healing looks like moving forward in life. They are open to feedback and willing to trust the process and work to further understand what resources and tools might be open to helping them cultivate the life they want.

I have already counseled my ideal client. I worked with a client who came to me in her most significant time of need. She was ready to put in work and wanted to develop. She was diagnosed with Bipolar I and had several suicide attempts. She could externalize her mania and use fitness and wellness to push through her episodes. She is happy and healthy and uses her experiences to help others. My services involve psychotherapy using techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), with a trauma-informed framework.
