Getting to know Stephen Lovato

Hi there, I'm Stephen! I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist, serving the community for over 45 years. I encourage you to ask me any question you feel you need to ask in order to get a sense of my treatment style and approach. My focus I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you. While in treatment you agree to abstain from using any type of Marijuana products or illegal/recreational substances. The reason for this request is that there is no medical science data that supports that using these products is supportive of the therapeutic process. My approach My approach is through the lens of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Simply, by examining 3 human characteristics: Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviors and how they are creating conflict in your life. By changing only one of these characteristic the other 2 will change and your growth begins. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm, patient and direct.
