25 years of experience
Hi- my name is Stephen Koutrelakos and I am a licensed counselor with 25 years of experience working as a therapist. I think of myself as an eclectic therapist, which means I will tailor my style of therapy to meet the wants and needs of clients that I work with in the counseling relationship. I also feel very strongly about creating an atmosphere of non judgmental therapy, where individuals can feel free of judgements and feel comfortable to open up and truly self explore to gain important understandings about themselves.
In our first session together we will focus on meeting each other, finding a comfort level with each other by creating a non judgemental atmosphere that can help us feel safe, yet productive.
My biggest strengths are listening skills, being nonjudgmental, providing healthy and effective coping skills, and a source of support for all my clients.
Anxiety, relationships, Mood disturbances, Sense of self issues, Anger management, Coping skills
I use this treatment method to be able to "tailor" my treatment approach to best fit the needs and challenges of my clients lives and issues of concern. SO, I am very versed in Person -centered approach, CBT, reality therapy, solution focused therapy, and others.
