Stephen Kochenash

Hi there! My name is Stephen and I transitioned to counseling because I love working with people from all walks of life. I come from a career in education and have traveled and lived around the world. I'm very grateful for the path I'm on because it has helped me come to know my values and make healthier choices in life. I'd like to empower you too, with tools you can use on a daily basis.

I'm currently accepting new clients for in person or virtual sessions.

Also, my colleague, Nataliya, specializes in Autism, ADHD, Nuerodivergence, and/or LGBTQ life that intersect with daily functioning, anxiety, or depression. You can find her on Psychology Today for more info. Feel free to reach out~

My approach is humanistic and holistic. I believe in dismantling the power dynamic between provider and client and demystifying the experience of asking for help. I trust you to know what's best for yourself and will help you sort it all out so you can make more informed decisions. I'm supportive during sessions and prioritize your individualized needs.

During our first session, I'll also listen and support you, creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self free from judgment. I like to get to know you more before we start working on specific struggles. I'm comfortable leading the session with questions or letting you lead if that feels right. Later, I can share tools to better navigate daily challenges or help you become more focused and empowered to advocate for yourself in your daily life.
