About me

I am licensed in California with 18 years of experience as an individual practitioner. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, addictive behaviors, mood disorders, and problems with communication.

I was a college-level instructor for ten years, and as such I have experience in communicating complex ideas in an understandable manner.

My work is focused on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), techniques useful for significant behavioral challenges. I am also versed in Behavior Analysis, which is helpful to address problematic habits and the establishment of new, more productive behaviors.

If you feel that I might be of help for you, please reach out and we can discuss your needs further.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Stephen Scherer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

He is the best. He's very blunt. He will always tell you the truth. He really wants to help. He really cares. But yet at the same time remaining mutual and a professional. I am so happy I found him on better help. So far he has helped me to manage my stress my PTSD, and holds me over. For accepting him on the platform
