Steven is doing such significant and special work in the world that it is difficult to tame into words. He has the rare ability to walk with you down the darker trails of your psyche with a warmth which does not impede your own ability to hold yourself with love.

He holds safe and generous space for the task of unpicking and sorting a lifetime of threads - memories, patterns, beliefs. He is a hand pointed to a far horizon where life is coherent and joyful and nourishing for all of us as individuals, as well as a collective. Thank you, thank you, thank you Steven.

It's been a pleasure working with Steven. His open, compassionate and non-judgemental guidance has been invaluable to me. He seems like someone I would want to have in my life as a friend. Our relationship has made a big difference in my life. The chemistry is good and working together has been a very rich experience.

With Steven listening, I feel heard. He repeats back to me what I've said, and seems to understand what I'm imparting. And I think that this environment has allowed me to feel better. It's allowed me to feel some progress. I'm just better equipped to handle circumstances and better see how things work. Techniques are sticking. If you look at my brain before we started the work and now, I think there are some new neural pathways, and others that are less entrenched.

Working with Steven at Beyond, I've made actual progress. He’s extremely accepting, relaxed, and intelligent. The only therapist I've had who's been able to talk about literature and art and all of the beautiful things that make up this world in a way that feels genuine. And it feels very much like I'm working with someone who's deeply engaged with healing people rather than just performing the role of a therapist. So eclectic, knowledgeable, relaxed.

I think he also challenges me to improve, rather than being too permissible. I could take up every single session with “let me complain about my life,” so, it's also appreciated to have some pushback on those patterns. I think the positive thing about the work that we've done is that it hasn't required a kind of singular or peak moment to affect real change. it's been very iterative and incremental. I got something in every session.

I have found Steven to be a highly attuned listener, and processor. He will often reflect back details that, once separated out from my main narrative flow, help shift my awareness and perspective in the most profound way.

I had previously imagined that having someone help me see into my blindspots was going to be deeply challenging, and it's fair to say the challenges have been there, but the way Steven holds 'space' is made up of a splendid mix of wisdom, learning, guiding (to the outer edges of the comfort zone, and a little beyond) and support.

I found Steven to be very open and very kind. He's really perceptive and good at listening and honoring where a person is at or what they're feeling and what they might need in that moment.

He's also good at facilitating conversation, especially in a group environment like the Healing Accelerator, where people didn't know each other. He made people feel comfortable and safe and fostered a space that felt open and comfortable.

I have known Steven for years. He was instrumental to my growth and coming of age in college, and he has continued to follow-up with me ever since. This is not a business for Steven--the relationships he builds with his clients, the realizations and actualizations he helps come about, and his ability to integrate all the parts of you speak to something much deeper than transactions. This is his life's calling, and you can feel it. Our sessions have been transformative and lasting.

Steven always challenged me to dig deeper. There is not a subject Steven shies away from, and I felt so safe in sharing the most vulnerable parts of myself with him. Steven is a source of wisdom for me and I'm sure many others. I'm at the point in my life now where I look forward to a healthy future, one I am confident in, and I owe so much of it to Steven. Therapy is amazing, and everyone should do it -- in bad times but especially in good times. Steven works like a mirror, you see yourself clearly with his guidance.

I found Steven engaging and curious. He's very unique and he's up to something I think good. I really enjoyed the Healing Accelerator and got a lot from it. It kept me engaged in my practices and I experienced camaraderie with the other participants, especially my accountability partner.

I could really see myself in the others. I felt less isolated and more heart-open and connected. I feel more in tune now, not just with people but also with animals and trees.

Few things can claim to be life-changing; for me, Beyond Psychology Center is the embodiment of that claim. I met Steven on a whim at one of the lowest points of my life and have since reached heights of peace, stability and self-advocacy I didn't think possible before. He brings his whole self to therapy, inviting clients to do the same. His technical knowledge is extensive and ever evolving - I was lucky enough to be part of his first trials with EMDR, a deeply moving experience for me.

He creates a harmony between therapeutic work and real, gritty human relating that couldn't be further from the stereotype of the stuffy, blank-slate psychologist. While doing my own inner work, I even discovered my own calling to become a therapist! Very few times have I felt seen. Through Beyond, that's changed in resounding, permanent ways. I'm ever grateful and can't recommend the care I've received enough.

Steve has made a huge impact in my life. I instantly connected with him and I look forward to our weekly sessions. Now when I’m stuck or ruminating I often think “what would Steve say to me?” and it really helps me tackle problems on my own.

Highly, highly, recommend Steve and/or any clinicians he has chosen to associate with!

I find Steven a really calming and non-judgmental presence. He is very present for you when you're in a session, which I think is really important. I also think there is something quite powerful in doing something like this with a group of people as in the Healing Accelerator. It reminds you that you're not alone in this whole mad world.

Also, I would say as somebody who is just generally interested in how the mind works and how I work and how other people work, I found it really useful and enriching to have more frameworks with which to understand myself and other people.

I’m a huge fan of Steven and the team at Beyond Psychology! I had the honor of participating in their first Healing Accelerator, which was a super illuminating and impactful experience. Steven is insightful, knowledgeable, and empathetic.

For me, learning about somatic therapy and experiencing EMDR helped unlock some personal insights and healing that had otherwise been hard to access. I would definitely recommend working with them, and personally hope to do so again in the future!

I highly recommend working with Steven. He is very skilled in different modalities for individual and group sessions; however, I’ll be bold and say the modalities don’t matter as much as Steven’s presence.

His calm and connected presence facilitated my awareness and processing. It amplified my sense of safety and served as a mirror to reflect to me what was emerging within me. This allowed me to be more embodied in my experiences, which was the next step in my healing journey.

Steven is amazing, it’s been really easy for me to talk out my thoughts and have assistance whenever I’ve been in a rough patch or whenever I’ve just been unsure of what to do or what steps to take with a situation. Steven is very fun to talk to and very funny!

Thank you! It has been incredibly interesting and inspiring to collaborate with Steven and be part of the Healing Accelerator. He is genuinely sincere and perceptive, and his deep passion for healing work is palpable. From our very first encounter, I sensed his non-judgmental nature.

Whenever I encounter symptoms or have a challenging day, I find myself thinking, "What would Steven advise?" There are a few individuals in my mind whom I turn to for guidance, and Steven is among them. I wholeheartedly recommend working with him, as it has been an immensely positive experience for me.

I had the pleasure of working with Steven and I cannot recommend him enough! As someone who has struggled with anxiety and stress-related issues for years, I was skeptical about finding someone who could truly help me. But from the moment I met Steven, I felt like he genuinely cared about me as a person, not just a patient. He always made sure to connect with me on a personal level, and never made me feel like just another case.

Thanks to Steven's skills and compassionate approach, I feel like I've made real progress in my healing journey. I'm so grateful to have found someone like him, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with stress, anxiety, or other nervous system issues. Thank you, Steven, for all that you do!

Steven is an incredible therapist. He is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about his work and offers a variety of approaches. Steven is present, warm, insightful and compassionate. He works from the heart, which makes me feel safe, grounded and seen and allowed me to do some deeper work.

His holistic and creative approach deeply resonated with me and not only opened new ways of understanding, seeing and experiencing myself but also sparked my own creativity. I could relax into myself and feel connection with others without feeling judged. I whole heartedly recommend working with Steven and his team at the Beyond Psychology Center!

I think Steven is great. I had such a sense of holding, safety and support that let me feel comfortable, seen and held in the space. Steven had a strong connection working with the group-as-a-whole and one-on-one.

My words for him are: safe, connecting, caring, and understanding. I feel grateful now and that I'm still growing and discovering different parts of me. I now have some real tools in case I hit potholes out in the world.

Steven is really friendly and creates an open environment where it’s really easy to talk. I'm super grateful to have been part of the Healing Accelerator and for all the work that I’ve done with Steven.

In the Healing Accelerator, I really felt like the connected healing field and I really resonated with a lot of the other people. I can’t rate Steven highly enough and definitely could not be where I am now without him. Thank you!
