Getting to know Dr. Sean Stephens
If you are struggling with issues related to anxiety and depression, you are not alone. In today's world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the daily rigors and uncertainties of life. Thoughts like ?Am I good enough?? or ?Can I do this?? often bring to the surface feelings of sadness, self-doubt, and inadequacy. Then, you may retreat and live within a dark cloud that could color your experience for years. I teach people strategies to manage themselves so that life doesn't seem so debilitating. As a licensed clinical psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of South Dakota, I work together with my patients to identify and change negative self-talk so they can face their fears and expand their comfort zones.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment to medical conditions and other health issues, college-aged students, stress management, adjustment issues related to life transitions, and aging and geriatric concerns.
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first session, I will ask a lot of questions so that I am better able to understand what is going on with you. Then, throughout the course of therapy, we will identify goals and chart ways to meet them as you develop the tools to manage your own life. Therapy is work, but in this collaborative therapeutic relationship, you will have support and guidance as we address your specific issues in a safe, non-judgmental, and accepting environment. Change occurs over time and it will take time to develop healthier thinking and behavioral patterns.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Dude sends a questionnaire I state I was diagnosed with bpd and I’m looking for a dr that’s upfront. Not even 5min into the appointment and he’s saying he’s not a good fit, pretended to help find a dr saw how pissed I was and asked if we should end the call.

even though this was our first meeting I got a few perspectives that I will really use to be more kind to myself, I look forward to working with him more to help me resolve some of the issues I currently have.
