My name is Stephen Clifton, LPC., M.A.C., I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC #75647, I am currently located in Austin, Texas. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward’s University, in Austin, Texas in August 2013.
You should know I assist people going through difficult life changes that need to talk through any troubling emotions or feelings that may be causing them distress. I assist people that may be struggling with depression/anxiety, substance use and trauma. I help people realize their power in various environments they may be having a difficult time in (Work, Home, Relationships, etc). My typical client is an adult or adolescent, male or female (LGBTQIA+ friendly) that wants to work on understanding and conquering their fears and difficult situations impeding their life and gaining a better understanding of themselves. I am a person centered therapist that helps cultivate my client's abilities to process and work through their life struggles. I have experience working with people that suffer from depression, anxiety and have difficulty in social situations. Therapy with me is all about helping us find your inner strength in life's difficult moments.

Stephen is the first therapist to ever say that they were sorry for what had happened to me. He is a great listener, and genuinely cares about helping me heal from my past and see things in a new perspective. He is also very knowledgeable, and uses his experience to help me understand and process things o bring up in session.
