Stuff That Works

Welcome to STW Counseling. I am so glad you are here. As someone in long term recovery, I understand the value to talking with someone as a means of getting to the root of your issue or issues. I think it’s awesome particularly when men seek out someone to talk to as that’s not the way many of us were brought up! Many of us were taught to just suck it up and go on.

Our sessions will typically last for about 50 minutes unless there is a pressing issue which may necessitate a longer session. While there is a standard fee for these sessions, I do not believe the ability to pay should not keep someone from getting help. Therefore we work on a sliding scale basis for those who cannot afford the standard fee.

I am a firm believer in a person-centered approach which means I want to work on what you the client wants to work on. I don’t have the answers for you, I believe you have the answers and it’s my job to help you get to the answers. I try hard not to tell someone what to do but will happily share what my experience has been. I look forward to hearing from you.
