The owner and clinicians at Next Step Counseling go above and beyond to provide effective, ethical, and conscientious counseling to people who are struggling in various areas of life. As a clinician I feel confident in referring individuals and couples to the practice and know that they will be greeted with warmth and treated with respect. I highly recommend them as one of the premier counseling practices in the city.

Next Step Counseling is our go-to practice for sending referrals. If you feel like starting the process of therapy might be overwhelming, NSC makes the transition seamless, from starting the process with the admin team, helping to determine insurance benefits, to setting up appointments with a therapist who best fits your needs. The therapists there are warm, supportive, and thoughtful in their care. Highly recommended this practice!

During therapy you will begin to discuss and share your feelings, thoughts, and reactions in order for you to begin to gain insight, develop new thinking patters, coping skills and overall improved quality of life. It is natural to feel uncomfortable about opening up at first but this process because much easier after a few sessions. Since self-growth is possible through commitment and work I will encourage you to practice the things you discuss and learn outside of session.
During the first and second session, we will gather information about what has brought you into therapy including your concerns, what you’d like to work on and information about your current and past emotional health and life history. This information helps us gain a deeper understanding about your situation, you as a person and how to best help you. Since it is important that clients feel comfortable with their counseling, we encourage clients to also use the first session as an opportunity to assess if this is a good fit for you as well.
Therapy varies depending on the personalities of the counselor and client, as well as the particular concerns brought forward. Sometimes the chemistry between the counselor and client or the counselor’s style or approach just isn’t a good fit. The relationship between the client and the therapist is of utmost importance. Therefore, we work to create a safe environment where open and honest communication is encouraged so that concerns or questions about treatment or the relationship can be addressed in session. This often benefits the therapeutic process and deepens the therapeutic relationship.
