Bryan G. Stephens, LPC

Bryan G. Stephens, LPC, Clinical Director and Owner

I have been practicing as an adult therapist for over 20 years, counseling adults on a wide array of issues common in today's world. I  use a combination of cognitive restructuring and interpersonal psychology in my approach.  


Each of us faces challenges in our lives that  we face with the tools we have. Together, we can work on new tools, understandings, and relationships with these challenges.  It is through this process that we grow closer to our best selves.   


I see each of us like a river. We see the rapids on the surface. We can deal with the rapids for symptom relief so we can then explore the deeper parts of the river bed and the rocks that shape the river of our being. 


Who we serve

We work with men and women of all ages as a psychotherapist. We are comfortable with diverse lifestyles and provide a safe environment for exploration.  

We can help with

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Life Transitions
  • Sexual and Intimacy issues
  • Communication & Interpersonal Relationships
  • Stress management
  • Men's Issues
  • LGBTQ+
  • Career Development
  • Disability services
  • Serious Mental Issues, such as Bi-polar Disorder and support for Schizophrenia  for individuals under the active care of a doctor.

Specialty in Men's Issues

In the 21st century, many men find they are lost, without clear direction. Even  materially successful men can find something is missing from their sense of fulfillment.  This is an area where we bring our own personal experience.  

Opening phone consultation

Psychotherapy is built around the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.  As this is critical,  We like to open with  a free 15-minute phone or video consultation, just let us know a couple times that would work well for me to give you a call and we can connect or request a consultation below.

Free Phone Consultation before you schedule your appointment

We would love to chat with you and just hear a little more about what your concerns are and also answer any additional questions you may have for us to make sure you have the best therapist to fit you. If it feels like a good fit, then we can go ahead and schedule your first session, otherwise we can help connect you to another therapist that is a better match for you. 


If you are paying privately, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of the costs you may incur. This will be provided to you prior to an evaluation as part of your consent documents
