Great to meet you!

My work as a therapist is shaped by my background in mental health, education, and working with people from different walks of life. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), an educator, and a rabbi, I have spent much of my professional life helping people better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and build more meaningful relationships.


I believe that people are more than the struggles they bring to therapy. We all have strengths, experiences, and patterns that influence how we think, feel, and relate to others. I enjoy helping clients make sense of these patterns while finding practical ways to move forward.


I work with people dealing with ADHD, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, men's issues, and relationship and family challenges. My approach combines thoughtful exploration and self-understanding with concrete tools and strategies that can make a difference in daily life.


My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I want clients to feel comfortable being honest about what they're experiencing, including the things that may be difficult to talk about. I see therapy as a partnership in which we work together to identify what matters to you, build on your strengths, and develop a clearer path toward the life and relationships you want.

My approach to therapy

Hi, I'm Avi Stewart, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, manage anxiety and stress, improve their relationships, and feel more in control of their lives. I have a particular interest in working with adults with ADHD, men navigating life's challenges, and individuals who struggle with emotional regulation or recurring patterns in their relationships and family life.


My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe that meaningful change comes from both understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do and learning concrete skills to respond differently.


Together, we'll explore the patterns and experiences that may be contributing to your struggles while developing strategies you can put into practice in your everyday life.

I want therapy to be a place where you can speak openly, feel understood, and work through challenges without feeling judged. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to manage your emotions, experiencing tension in your relationships, or simply sensing that something needs to change, we'll work together to identify your goals and build on your strengths.


You don't need to have all the answers before starting therapy. My goal is to help you gain greater self-awareness, develop practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting changes in how you feel, how you relate to others, and how you navigate life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a warm, collaborative conversation where we work to understand what brings you to therapy and begin developing an approach to addressing it. I want you to feel comfortable being open and honest, without feeling judged or pressured to share more than you're ready to.


We'll explore the challenges you're facing, how they affect your daily life and relationships, and what you've already tried. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns, clarifying your goals, and considering practical strategies that may help. My approach combines understanding the underlying issues with developing concrete tools and steps you can begin using in your everyday life.


Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, or relationship challenges, my goal is for you to leave our first session with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to the problem and an initial direction for moving forward.


You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet. We'll work together to make sense of what's happening, identify what you can do differently, and build a plan that fits your needs and goals.
