Getting to know Stephen Kochenash

Do you struggle navigating daily life and wish you had more tools to help? The good news is therapy can help you gain control over your life, find your purpose, and pursue your dreams. Even in dark times, you can be happy, but there are many tools that we need to reach our full potential. Low self-esteem, unhealthy beliefs, negative thoughts, and lack of self-awareness are some barriers that can prevent you from getting “unstuck.” As a Queer provider, I empathize with these struggles and when I reflect on where I started, I can see how 'doing in the work' has changed my own life in unimaginable ways.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Counseling empowers you to make healthier decisions, feel more connected, be in the present, and heal trauma. Let me help you better understand how you operate, develop effective skills, and reach incremental goals. My approach is humanistic, flexible, non-judgmental, progressive, and strengths-based as this facilitates motivation and change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You'll learn how to reduce fear, let go of control, and rewire your brain. Sessions with me are dynamic and depend on the moment but can be both quiet/reflective and loud/challenging . Fees depend on insurance benefits and coverage.
