About me
Greetings! I am a counselor, currently licensed in California and Texas, with approximately 20 years of experience. My experiences include working with individuals to address topics such as anger management, relationship issues, alcohol and other drug related concerns, personal development, and mood disturbances. I have also worked with criminal justice involved individuals.
My style primarily utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral perspectives with an understanding that the connection and trust between counselor and client is paramount in an effective and productive partnership. I believe that by working to create a safe and authentic environment the stage is best prepared for creating healthy change and movement towards ones goals. Although the specific methods utilized will be based on individual details and interactions, my interactions are personalized and focused on an individual's strengths. I typically review incoming messages at least twice a day, at least once in the AM and once in the PM.
I appreciate you and your interest in counseling as an opportunity to create or maintain the life you envision. I hope to have the opportunity to partner with you in your next steps and I look forward to hearing from and working with you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Steven Gaddis. 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.
Steven was incredibly helpful from the very first session. He helped me focus on my goals, see things that I hadn’t seen in my interactions with others, and gave me tools and strategies to make progress on my goals. I now have real hope that I can make the changes I’ve been wanting and needing to improve communication in my relationship. Thank you, Steven!

I’ve been meeting with Steven for almost 3 weeks now , has been greatly helpful to my healing process/journey . He’s very attentive when listening to me, very knowledgeable to break down what he means in terms that I will understand or relate to. You can tell he enjoys his craft and that’s what makes him a phenomenal therapist.

Steven has been helping me for a month now. He’s opened my eyes to things I over looked that have so far helped me bring reality to my perspective. I was stressed and anxious, and I’m now calmer and starting to have a clearer mind and a plan on my mental recovery. He’s very knowledgeable, listens, and gives great suggestions. I’d definitely recommend this professional.

We've only met twice but he is thoughtful, observant and kind. He's already noticed a few things about me that have never been mentioned by other therapists.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Steven Gaddis as my therapist, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Steven has been incredibly supportive throughout our sessions, demonstrating a deep understanding of various therapeutic approaches. His patience and encouraging demeanor create a safe space for open dialogue and personal growth.
What stands out most is his wealth and breadth of knowledge. Steven has an extraordinary ability to draw profound parallels and analogies that make complex concepts easily digestible. His resourcefulness in finding applicable strategies tailored to my needs has been invaluable. I genuinely feel that he could assist with any challenge I face, and I look forward to continuing this journey with him.
If you're seeking a professional who combines expertise with GENUINE care, Steven Gaddis is the therapist for you.
