Indeed, Stephen’s experience and training in marriage and family systems adds a depth to counseling that is often missing in traditional approaches. People appreciate the emphasis upon a collaboration that respects and honors the value of each individual’s perspective, giving insight for holistic solutions to problems. Many have found that the result of this approach is lasting change because the relational context of the problem has been addressed, not just the problems being faced by the individual.
