Rate Stephen (Steve) Bezdeka

Steve is everything you could hope for in a therapist. He's supportive & non-judgmental, but knows where to challenge your usual assumptions or behaviors in order to help you work through the stuff that is holding you back. He's incredibly easy to open up to and confide in, and he never pushes you farther than you're ready to go. I enter many of my sessions feeling like I may just not really need go speak to my therapist this week, yet at the end of every one I feel that my time with Steve has been incredibly valuable. He's great and I would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve been working with Steve for a while and I have to say how incredibly my life has changed in that time. From my relationships to my career, having someone who can really listen with a compassionate and critical ear has helped me understand myself better and also better my life. He’s an extremely experienced, professional, flexible, and well rounded therapist. He’s able to handle many different types of situations and points of tension with ease. Somehow while remaining neutral and never pointedly telling me what the right thing to do is. That’s why he’s so incredible! He is able to stay nonjudgemental, compassionate, and essentially helps us find the answer that’s right for us. While we all do the work ourselves, having him as a guide for part of my journey made a world of a difference. The tools he’s given me the space to cultivate I will always keep with me and I will be forever changed by our time working together. Its can be hard to find a therapist that can help you actually grow to be so much better so I’m very grateful to Steve for the work we’ve been able to do together.

When I read Steve’s first contact message it clicked. The person you read there is the counselor you get. He listens, he’s sincere, and provides feedback as relevant aimed at moving you toward your goals

Steve is a very well seasoned therapist who can cut to the core of what’s bothering me. What I appreciate most about him is that he is also able to identify patterns based on what I’ve said and help me identify my own self limiting thoughts and thought patterns in a way that’s compassionate and helpful. Well researched (which I appreciate) and extremely nonjudgmental, I’ve felt that I’ve made great improvements in my mental health and self imagine from working with Steve- which is something I struggled with even working with other therapists, that isn’t to say that other therapists weren’t great but they just weren’t as effective as zooming out and seeing the big picture in what I was saying in each different scenario every week. He deserves a well earned thank you in my books because working with him has really helped me feel more centered, more confident, and probably most surprisingly- happier.
