“I could almost choose all of those for him. I’ve never had such an overall good, healthy feeling about therapy I’ve obtained in the past. He’s so genuine, honest and a phenomenal listener. I’m so ecstatic with my selection, thank you”

Getting to know Steve Leland

Hello. I'm currently accepting new clients (ages 18+) for individual counseling sessions. I offer some evening and weekend sessions. I am no longer providing family or couples/marital counseling services. However, I do address relationship issues individually. I’ve helped people create positive change for 26+ years. I welcome you to address your concerns and work toward your therapy and life goals. I provide a calm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood, supporting healing and growth. My client-focused approach adapts to your needs and goals, with light humor when appropriate. I have been a National Board Certified Counselor(NCC) since 2000, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor(LMHC in FL) since 2002, and a Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC in GA) since 2021. I help people who are dealing with depressive symptoms; anxiety; adjustment issues; mood swings/instability; life stressors/stress management; anger management; frustration tolerance; coping, & social skills; relationship issues; grief/loss issues; parenting & behavior modification skills; mindfulness; work/life balance; and life enhancement; amongst others. I attempt to facilitate positive change, healing &/or growth by assisting people in identifying the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are keeping them stuck(and/or preventing them from moving forward) in order to overcome struggles/obstacles and work towards reaching their full potential. Having worked in community mental health and social services field since 1992, I'm seasoned in providing adults with compassionate, contemporary and effective mental health counseling/therapy. Using an eclectic & comprehensive approach tailored to the needs of each person, I use techniques based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Rogerian/Person-Centered Experiential Therapy(PCET), REBT(Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Solution-Focused, and behavioral schools of counseling.

What should a new client know about working with you?

1) Psychological contact including feeling like you are being heard & respected , 2) Professionalism, 3) Unconditional Positive Regard, 4) Empathy, 5) Genuineness. I work to create a safe, relaxing, non-judgmental environment for clients to talk about what might be hard to express. I use evidence-based approaches along with client-centered relationship building to allow people to be heard & understood so healing &/or growth can begin. My style is client-focused, adapting to your specific needs & goals by utilizing reflective listening & ensuring your therapeutic goals are reasonable & achievable. With 30+ years of experience, I help people address issues including depression; anxiety; stress management; anger management; frustration tolerance; self-esteem; ego; intimacy issues; etc…

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.
