I am a clinical social worker, licensed in Connecticut and New York State. I have been helping individuals, couples and families grow and change over my entire 47 year career. Change can be frightening to contemplate, but in reality change is normal. People grow and change on a daily basis as we learn, adapt and grow wiser and gain more experience. Often, being human, we make mistakes or we find that our lives are not what we expected. This can result in depression and/or anxiety, or a disruption in our relationships with families and loved ones. It may even result in serious mental illness. As an experienced therapist, I help my patients become in charge of that change process, rather than victims of it. I can't solve your problems, but I can assist you to solve them yourself.

My experience with Stephen has been one of mutual respect. I appreciate his candor, wisdom and forward thinking solutions. He has assisted me tremendously in refocusing my energies into self changing behavior with tactics and tools that have improved my thinking. This has allowed me to shift away from behavior that is damaging and refocusing that negativity into more positive outcomes. He's basically shown me how to adjust both mind and emotion so that a different outcome can occur that is helpful rather than the opposite.

I think it is important to note that I have only been using this program for about a month and I feel to really give a proper assessment one would need more time than what I had, but due to financial hardships I had to stop my therapy. That said, what little time I had with my counselor Steve, was very positive. He is very patient and really takes the time to listen to your needs and offer suggestions to aid in your journey of helping you resolve issues. He is always courteous and professional and over time could be a real asset to any seeking therapy.

Professional, polite and understanding. Even with the obstacle of time differences, he makes it work. There's normally a wall and skepticism when signing up for these things, I've only had one session so far but so far I've been converted.

Can’t say enough about Stephen, I wish I would have found him long before. Has helped me tremendously over the past few months, and am looking forward to working with him in the future.

I was going through a crisis in my life and Stephen was instrumental in helping me overcome this difficult period and be able to succeed. He is very supportive, open and encouraging as a counselor - Stephen knew when to share insights and when to listen at the appropriate times. He really helped me reach new breakthroughs and believe in myself again. Would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a counselor.

Clear, concise, insightful.
I’ve tried counseling before and been dissatisfied. If you want someone to just listen to your problems without insight, critique or suggestions you can get that for free anywhere.
Stephen is a pleasant person to talk to. He is also experienced & his advice is practical.

I strongly recommend Stephen Witte for counseling and therapy. As a single working mother it can get very stressful and overwhelming and Stephen has helped me understand that it’s ok to feel this way, and how to feel better. Being raised with dysfunctional parents and not wanting to make the same mistake they made I had many questions in regards to raising my son and certain concerns about my sons behavior but he has offered healthy options that make me feel not alone. Definitely worth the try !as a busy single parent that has no time to go to see a therapist, talking on the phone with Steve has definitely made my world a better one. Thank you so much
