Steven Straley

Hello, I’m Steven Straley. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have obtained a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute. I also received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State Northridge. It takes courage to pursue therapy, so I commend you for taking this step.

I am experienced working with individuals and couples in navigating issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, abuse, gender identity and expression, family relationships, communication, self-worth, sexuality, and intimacy.

My objective as an individual therapist is to get to know you and to understand your goals for where you want to go and what you want to change. Using that, we will work together to establish goals that match that vision, are appropriate for you and your circumstances, and will result in the change you desire.

In my experience working with couples, the area of focus in therapy is communication. I use Gottman therapy method to determine how partners have honed their communication skills.
