My clients come to me with emotional pain. They may not like themselves, feel alone or different, and worried/depressed.  They may feel like they have no control or have lost the control that they used to have.  They feel stuck or like they don't belong.  We work together so that the leave with a sense of freedom and empowerment. They feel like they can be their true selves. They have hope. Clients have told me "I feel safe now", "I never knew I could feel this good", "I actually like myself now. I didn't know I could".

I specialize in helping individuals rise above traumatic experiences. Additionally, I am passionate about supporting people with overcoming self-harm and suicidality.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience. I strive to create a warm and trusting environment to empower my clients and help facilitate positive change and growth.

My name is Steven Ward and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and an intermittent therapy participant for 30 years. I believe in therapy and its ability to help others become their best selves. I have known since the first time therapy made a significant difference in my life, that I wanted to devote my life, time, and energy to serving and helping others by becoming a therapist. I received an undergraduate degree from Spring Arbor in Management and Organizational Development and utilized this to work my way through my Masters in Counseling, also from Spring Arbor University.

The decision to work with a mental health professional can seem overwhelming. My purpose as a psychologist is to help you feel as comfortable and safe as possible so that you are empowered to initiate the changes you want for your life. In a collaborative environment, I strive to help you navigate hurts of the past, deal with stressors of the present, and outline your future goals. Whether you are dealing with depression, trauma, hopelessness, racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, relationship issues, or other concerns, I provide a trusting relationship in a judgement free atmosphere where I can help you achieve wellness.

Due to telehealth, I can take clients from anywhere in Michigan. I enjoy working with clients who are up for a little work and challenge. I have a strong belief in the idea that therapy isn't something that is done to us, but rather something we must take an active role in to see any true progress. I view therapy as another way to add more tools to our toolbox in an effort to better ourselves. My goal is that by working together, you will learn things in a manner that allows you to function at your best regardless of what life throws at you.

Life can be challenging and wonderful at the same time. There are so many ups and downs and sometimes you just want someone to listen and remind you that you are going to be okay. We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can learn how to live our best life despite the difficult times. I want to help you reach your goals and discover your best life. I am a graduate of Loyola University Chicago with a B.S. in Psychology. I am a fully licensed clinical social worker with my Master’s degree from Grand Valley State University.

I enjoy working with clients to gain insight into the challenges they face and to develop a plan to overcome them. Because everyone comes to therapy with unique issues and values, I use an individualized approach to meet your specific needs, incorporating research-based techniques that draw from mindfulness-based therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing. Providing compassion, support, and feedback, I create a safe and caring environment that promotes growth, healing, and empowerment. I enjoy helping clients discover their existing strengths, find hope for the future, and overcome difficulties to achieve their goals.
