Therapists in Doylestown, PA
I have been working with young students and their families for over 30 years. Throughout this time I have gained a great deal of insight into the significance the family plays in the development of each child. Today's families are often experiencing a great deal of stress. In many cases parents are caught between raising their children while caring for their parents. Communication is the essential glue that holds our families together. In my office I offer a warm and caring environment to foster family growth and healthy family dynamics.

The family is the foundation upon which we develop our understanding of how to interact and form relationships with people. The family is where we develop our first understanding of how to deal with various emotions such as anger, love, happiness, and sadness. It is also where we learn to manage conflict. I believe in taking the strengths and values that already exist within a family and using them to enhance family relationships and Inspire its members to live a healthier and happier life.

I am passionate about working with children ages 2-12 and their parents. I work with kids using play therapy. In the play therapy room, children use toys to communicate what they have trouble saying in words; toys are the child’s words, and play is their language. Given the opportunity, environment, and relationship with a trained play therapist, children can overcome their struggles at home, school, etc. I work with children who are struggling with anxiety, depression, adhd, autism spectrum disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, academic challenges, anger management, mood instabilities, and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Life is a journey filled with moments of joy and moments of challenge. We all experience changes and transitions that can bring a sense of achievement and fulfillment, or leave us feeling overwhelmed and in pain. In these times, it is important to have a support system that can celebrate our successes and provide a safe space for us to express our vulnerabilities and emotions in a world that may not always offer such understanding. It is common for us to have interactions and relationships that get stuck in negative patterns. By identifying and breaking these cycles we can improve our relationships and our lives.

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.

His philosophy is that therapy is a journey with a clear destination... a stronger, empowered, and happier self.

Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.
