Stephen Somerville
Marriage & Family Therapist (Associate License Pending)
Welcome to The Growth Space. I'm Stephen Somerville, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA), and I'm dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding.
My journey to becoming a therapist stems from a deep belief in the power of human connection and the potential for growth within each person. I understand that life can be overwhelming and filled with anxiety or depression, relationship struggles, and difficult transitions. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world and build healthier relationships with yourself and others while cultivating lasting change.
My approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapies like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method Therapy. I am also experienced in utilizing elements of CBT, DBT, ACT, Play/Art/Music therapy, mindfulness, and Person-Centered Therapy to tailor an experiential treatment to your unique needs.
I believe your cultural, ethnic, spiritual, religious, and overall personal identity are integral to your well-being. I strive to incorporate any gender, sexual, or social elements that feel important to you while creating a therapeutic environment that honors and respects your individuality. You are stronger than you think, and your worth is unconditional.
The story of your life has yet to be fully told, and your courage to seek help shows that you may write the best chapter yet. I am honored to advocate for your needs and hold space for life’s challenges with acceptance. Life is not meant to be traversed alone. You are invited to The Growth Space and welcomed on this journey. If you're ready to embark, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards creating a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
