Getting to know Stephen Schwed

Hi there, I'm Stephen! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor originally from New York City, now in private practice after several years working with youth and adults in Colorado. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, anger, behavioral issues, and substance use — and I bring a direct, curious, no-fluff energy to the work. My focus I work best with people who are dealing with behavioral issues, anxiety, trauma, anger, and substance use. We will create a relationship that feels safe enough to work through issues in a way that feels authentic to you - whether that is many sessions or just a few. I will listen and adapt and we will ride together. My approach My approach blends talk therapy with the mind-body connection — drawing on yoga, meditation, and ACT to build cognitive flexibility and help you make choices based on your actual values, not fear or autopilot. For deeper wounds or trauma that's gone unprocessed too long, I also use EMDR. My communication style I’m quite direct (I'm from NYC), curious, and not afraid to ask hard questions. I have a sense of lightness because not all serious problems require serious solutions. Sometimes it's about rediscovering what makes us come alive, and then finding ways to go do that. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because deep, honest conversation is my favorite thing in life. I started out teaching, then spent years working with youth and adults in Colorado before going into private practice. My practice is shaped by over a decade of yoga, meditation, and a strong belief in the mind-body connection. My goals for you We get clear on what you actually want, then I stay in it with you — paying attention, asking questions, and holding you accountable, even between sessions. The real goal is that you leave more confident in your own decisions, without needing me or anyone else's approval.
