Getting to know Steven Garufi

"The problem you can't discuss is now two problems." I am passionate about helping my clients feel seen and 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. I am trauma-informed and have been greatly influenced by person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. For me, there is no greater experience than helping clients process what hurts and what matters. Rarely are there easy fixes; achieving long-term growth requires hard work and commitment. My background: I graduated from Montclair State University with a B.A. in Political Science (1994) and I obtained my M.A. in Counseling from Denver Seminary (2002). I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (LPC #4201) since 2005. As a resident of Westcliffe, Colorado, I enjoy hiking, cycling, weightlifting, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of the American West. I have biked across the USA three times, the latest trip happening in 2017. I'm a free spirit who loves encouraging others to live boldly from their heart and to pursue their biggest, wildest dreams.
