Getting to know Steven Laska
My name is Steven Laska, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies and currently work with clients via telehealth. I have worked with adolescents and adults from diverse subcultures experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, fertility, adoption, parenting, living/dying transitions, and cross-cultural relationships.
My approach
My therapy style is eclectic and tailored to client needs. My training includes psychodynamic theory, family systems, integral psychology, and humanistic and transpersonal schools of thought.
My focus
Clients range from adolescents to seniors, coming from various backgrounds with diverse issues.
My communication style
Connection is essential in therapy. Clients often report feeling a positive connection early on. I help clients reflect on their lives in a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate way.
My journey to mental healthcare
My first job after my undergraduate degree was working with emotionally challenged children in a residential setting. This experience, along with a positive therapeutic relationship during a personal life transition, inspired me to become a therapist.
My goals for you
Goals relate to the issues presented and the client’s desired outcomes. As therapy progresses, new issues may emerge, and goals may change.
My first session with you
Our first session focuses on understanding why you have chosen therapy now. I listen and ask questions relevant to this purpose.
