One of Steven’s best qualities is his constancy. He consistently shows up and always wants what is best for me even when I’m not sure what that is.

I've had such a great experience with Steven. He provides a safe and non-judgmental space where I can explore my feelings and work through my challenges. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and has been really helpful for relationship coaching. He gets the challenges of starting to date in LA and it's helped me more than I expected. I recommend him!

Stephanie Recht

Steven’s warm countenance and non-judgmental attitude create a safe space for open dialogue. He effortlessly blends empathy with humor, making conversations comfortable and productive. I highly recommended him to anyone seeking genuine support and guidance.

I worked with Steven for 18 Zoom sessions over 4 months last year. It was one of the most difficult years of my life in relationship terms, and I will always be grateful to Steven for how he helped me navigate it with so much more clarity, confidence, and honesty than I would have managed on my own.

I think it's highly likely that if I hadn't worked with him, the separation I was trying to process would have become permanent. Instead, we got back together during our work together, got engaged six months after my work with Steven ended, and got married six months after that.

I was attracted to what Steven offered primarily because his emphasis on “investigating and changing what isn't working” sounded refreshingly action-oriented relative to many forms of relationship counselling/therapy I’d investigated. I have zero interest in just talking endlessly in ways that bring about no actual change, and his focus on goals and milestones, triaging the most painful things, and, ultimately, generating results (however defined) felt like a strong structure to put my trust in.

And so it turned out to be. Over the course of our sessions, Steven and I worked on a range of goals I brought to our work, including both emotional (how to have more confidence in what I was doing in a confusing phase, feel less fear about specific possible outcomes, feel more grounded in my attitudes to monogamy versus polyamory) and practical (have specific things to do and not do to help the time feel easier and be what it needed to be). I looked forward to our sessions (weekly to begin with, fortnightly later on) as a patch of my week in which I could learn from the oblique perspectives Steven would bring to my thinking, helping me understand my own and others’ behaviours and responses in new ways, and always leavening our explorations with plenty of pragmatism and humour.

I also loved being given homework. A small sample of my tasks: “have no sex this week”, “text an old friend, brief is fine”, “reflect on what you want to take with you and what you want to leave behind”, “read Attached and ask whether x has an avoidant attachment style”, “arrange some self-dates”, “journal nonstop for 40 minutes on the plane”, “be courted!”, “get the Alltrails paid version”. Doing all of them, rather than just thinking about doing them, changed my life.

And, finally, at a particular moment of crisis, Steven was there, willing to speak unscheduled at short notice, and offering the bluntness (“that was a terrible text to send”) that was needed to cut through the fog.

I have no idea how my life would be right now if I hadn’t worked with Steven, but I am pretty damn confident that it would be distinctly less lovely.

Steven is a phenomenal sounding board, a wealth of insight into all things relationship, goal-setting, and LGBTQ+, and an expert in when to listen and when to lead a conversation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

John Crenshaw

I feel incredibly heard and understood when talking with Steven. He is direct and gentile at the same time. He gives the best relationship feedback and has helped me. It’s always easy to talk with him and has never felt like a waste of time.

Teddy Margas

Talking virtually (due to quarantine) hasn’t diminished what I get out of talking with Steven.  It’s better and easier! I still feel connected, understood, and supported but now I don’t need to leave my house and commute.  Steven is a natural at being a therapist and has been very comforting and helpful during this time.

I’ve seen Steven for years. He’s a great therapist and been so helpful with me as I struggled through relationship issues. We focused on my attachment style, my anxiety, and how I choose partners. After several painful relationships, I’ve found a great guy and owe so much of my relationship success to Steven at Therapy For Adults. I keep referring friends to him. He’s good at what he does.
