If you're looking for an amazing therapist then Stephen is certainly the therapist for you! He has listened and helped me navigate through some very difficult situations... And I haven't even been in therapy that long! He is very thorough and super relatable. Stephen is outstandingly professional and great to work with.

Stephen Edwards is a great help. He gets right to what you need to work on, makes sure that you’re working on you and checks up on how everything’s been if you’ve implemented any exercises that were talked about to improve and how they’ve been going. I give big thank you !
