Getting to know Steve Garufi

With 19 years of experience, my areas of interest include depression, anxiety, self-worth, healing from trauma and abuse, divorce recovery, overcoming shame, life transitional issues, matters of loneliness, and empowering others to pursue their dreams and career aspirations. I earned my B.A. in Political Science at Montclair State University in New Jersey in 1994 and gained my Master's in Counseling at Denver Seminary in 2002. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (#4201). My counseling approach usually incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques, Rogerian theories, ("person-centered" counseling), and family systems methods. I am passionate about helping my clients feel understood in their time of suffering — with their feelings validated, their life story honored, and their weaknesses, mistakes, failures, longings, etc., accepted without a hint of judgment. While I think I have much to offer my clientele, I am not a “know-it-all” therapist. I want to learn from those who have turned their pain and suffering into something beautiful. As a resident of Westcliffe, Colorado, I enjoy hiking, cycling, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of the American West. I have biked across the USA three times, with the latest trip happening in 2017. I regularly make public presentations about my travel experiences and encourage others to live boldly and to pursue their dreams. IMPORTANT INFO: 1. The best and easiest way to contact me is via the messaging system on Sondermind. (Phone, text, and email are also acceptable.) 2. I see clients by video only. (No in-person sessions.) 3. I do not see clients who are court-ordered for therapy. 4. I do not do assessments for emotional support animals, FMLA matters, child custody matters, and work and disability matters.
