Dr. Steven Bottari

After obtaining a Ph.D. in School Psychology, I completed a Post-Doctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology, working with adults. I subsequently entered private practice and worked with a very diverse client population. Issues I have treated include: depression, anxiety, PTSD/pain from accident and injury, ADHD, and relationship issues. After practicing for 15 years, I entered the business world and recently returned to clinical practice supplemented with years of business and life experience.

Establishing a comfortable working relationship between the client and the therapist is paramount and essential to a successful outcome. I believe that psychotherapy is both an art and a science. No two clients are the same and as such I individualize my treatment approaches. I incorporate elements of cognitive- behavioral, humanistic, client-centered, and psychodynamic therapies depending upon the client and the nature of the presenting problem.

Clients working with me can expect to leave their first session feeling that they had an opportunity to express, to an actively engaged psychologist, in a non- judgmental environment, the issues that they may be struggling with. In this first session, clients should obtain an understanding of some preliminary goals of therapy. In subsequent sessions, a plan and path to achieve these goals will develop and evolve through the therapeutic process.
