Steven has been a blessing. For years I avoided any sort of counseling. I never fully believed I needed it. He has made me feel comfortable within my own skin and challenged me in positive ways as well. With his guidance I have been able to see real improvements.

Hello! My name is Steven Nurkin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I have over 10 years of experience working with as a therapist. I began my counseling career working with people diagnosed with HIV. Over my career, I have focused on helping people challenged with substance abuse and other compulsive behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and intimacy/relationship issues.
First, I’d like to congratulate you on your decision to ask for help. Reaching out is the first step, and for most people the hardest step, on your journey of change and to leading a happier, more fulfilling life.
I believe that you already have the keys to solving and resolving your own issues. After all, you are the expert on your own life. My job is to help you find the keys that you may have misplaced somewhere along the way. I do this by creating a safe, judgment-free zone to understand exactly where you’re at, both situationally and emotionally. Working together, we will then come up with a custom-tailored plan for you employing a variety of interventions which are brief, solution-focused and cognitive or cognitive-behavioral in approach. I firmly believe that meaningful results for many issues can be experienced in just a few sessions.
I am looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Steven has been a blessing. For years I avoided any sort of counseling. I never fully believed I needed it. He has made me feel comfortable within my own skin and challenged me in positive ways as well. With his guidance I have been able to see real improvements.
Steven Nurkin makes me feel very comfortable and safe and like he is always listening. Also he doesn't just listen but actually suggest great ideas and has great skill at pinpointing at what is going on and offering a way to help.
Steven is a great listener. In the space of a couple of sessions, I feel like I have already made some good progress. Steven managed to create a safe space for me to express myself from day one, and I'm grateful that we have been working together.
Steven's approach and kindness has fundamentally changed my life and how I view it. You will find no better individual to work with. I value and appreciate him very much indeed.
I have been with Steven for over a year and could not ask for a better therapist and friend.
I have been working with Mr Nurkin for about two years now. He has worked me on anxiety at my work, relationship issues, neediness as well as helping to grow self my confidence. I will recommend Mr Nurkin as a therapist any day. He has really helped to improve my well-being. I have managed to learn useful coping strategies for my day to day life. He helped me reframe my thoughts and look at troubling situations in a different way. Now when the same situation arises, I try to look at it differently. I am thankful for the counselling Mr Nurkin has given me. If you are looking for a good therapist, I’d strongly recommend that you try talking to Mr Nurkin.
I am honestly in the best head space I have been, probably ever in my adult life and I credit all of that to my work with Steven and better help, I am a huge advocate for better help and will continue to be, best idea for therapy since freud coined the Oedipus complex.jk but seriously better help kicks ass
Steve is simply the best **swoons**
This experience is the best thing happened to me. I’m with Steve for two months now and I’m learning about myself every session. Steve listen carefully and never judge your words.. he is very supportive, nicely pointing out what you are missing and leads you to come up with your own solutions/plans.
I am so grateful for everything Steve supports me with. Knowledgeable, caring, thoughtful, and so understanding. Just incredibly grateful.
Steve is an intelligent, kind, intuitive, experienced therapist who has been instrumental in helping me work through past traumas, pursue personal growth, etc. Since beginning therapy with Steve, my depression has lifted, my general anxiety is far less and I have started building great relationships.
Steven is a very good listener and can quickly delve into the possible roots of the problem. It's almost like he has a sixth sense.
Got lucky with my first pick ... perfect choice for me ... happy to return to him as needed ... well worth a try, he's a good man and experienced professional.
Steven is the best counselor I've had. He is listens, checks in and offers constructive perspectives without making me feel judged.
I feel incredibly lucky to have been matched with Steve as my counselor, he made me feel comfortable from day one, and working with him has been a wonderful experience. I can't express my gratitude enough.
Steve is a great listener. He deconstructs harmful thoughts and helps me decipher confusing feelings and suggests helpful strategies to help me navigate the difficult times in my life. I especially appreciate his gentle approach to criticism. He will often nudge me in the correct direction and let me come to terms with my weaknesses on my own, rather than shoving them in my face. I always feel supported and listened to, and I would recommend Steve to anyone struggling with relationship issues, sexual orientation, mood disorders, or substance abuse problems.
An excellent person whom i would recommend to anyone who needs someone to talk with
I have worked with many counselors. Steve is by far the best equipped, most straightforward, most helpful counselor I’ve ever spoken to. He is knowledgeable and gentle but never lets me off the hook with my bullshit.
I've just started with the sessions and based on our initial session, I felt it went well and we seem to be aligned in what my needs are.
Steven is a tremendous support for me. He is an extremely good listener and has a lot of empathy. I am grateful to have Steven on my side during these difficult times for me.
Steven is great, he knows me and takes time to talk specifically about the things impacting my life.
Talking to Steven has really helped me. There's not much more I can say than that. He helps me see things I already knew in a new more clear light.
Steven is wonderful. He is intelligent, listens and helps me to identify the best ways to help me better myself! I’d highly recommend working with him!
I am thankful for having been connected with Steve as my counselor. I think that he has been able to connect with me on many levels, and I am confident in his abilities to counsel me. Thank you Steve and carry on.
Steven has been and continues to be a huge support to me throughout my counselling. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Couldn’t ask for anyone better!
Steven helps me pinpoint what is going on and is very supportive. He offers alternative views and helps me brainstorm solutions. I feel excited about growing in ways that had previously made me feel powerless.
Steven has helped me break down and process my thoughts and get me through hard times. It is so nice to have a person like him to give you feedback on what your going through and offer exercises and solutions to issues that I’ve faced. Thanks Steve!
Steve is professional, knowledgeable and supportive. He's helped me tremendously these past few months in better understanding myself and address lingering issues from my past relationship and with my self esteem.
I felt he listened to me and truly understood how I was feeling and wants to help me achieve my goals.
Fantastic. Helped me beyond measure.
Steve is amazing. He gives amazing advice, he listens to me, and offers great techniques and tools that help me cope with my anxiety.
Such a wonderful counselor and really helping me to overcome my struggles with situations. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Steven is a fantastic counsellor. And I highly recommend him. Very attentive, supportive and positive. I have found every session with him thoroughly rewarding and have gained insight and skills from our time together.

Very competent, personable & friendly
