Getting to know Steven Sultan

Hi there, I'm Steven! My approach to psychotherapy involves establishing rapport and trust and utilizing the most effective techniques to assist my patients. These include psychodynamic and cognitive approaches as well as specialized techniques such as EMDR for treating PTSD, as well as other trauma-related conditions. Traumatic experiences are often overlooked when treating anxiety and depressive disorders, and are often a focus in how I treat these problems. I also focus on such conditions in aging populations and treat patients with age-related, retirement, grief, and loss issues throughout the life cycle.

These include psychodynamic and cognitive approaches as well as specialized techniques such as EMDR for treating PTSD, as well as other trauma-related conditions. Traumatic experiences are often overlooked when treating anxiety and depressive disorders, and are often a focus in how I treat these problems. I also focus on such conditions in aging populations and treat patients with age-related, retirement, grief, and loss issues throughout the life cycle. My focus I strive to create a supportive therapy environment that engenders two-way rapport and trust. I try to be as directive as necessary to assist my patients, but I don't lecture or judge them. I want my patients to feel safe and comfortable in therapy with the objectives and goals we establish, and experience confidence that they can resolve their difficulties. My communication style I focus on clear, open, and respectful communication to engender a supportive, creative, and non-judgmental treatment experience. My approach to therapy involves active listening on my part and empathic dialogue with my patients, to facilitate comfort in the sharing of one's experiences, especially difficult ones, and allow the patient to feel comfortable doing so.
