Focused, Meaningful Work on What Matters Most
Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you're becoming?
I offer individual counseling for adults navigating anxiety, burnout, identity confusion, and the deeper challenges of living in a rapidly shifting world. Whether you're dealing with persistent stress, emotional exhaustion, or a quiet sense of meaninglessness, therapy can help you move forward with strength, clarity, and purpose.
As a licensed counselor with over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who may look “fine” on the outside—but inside are wrestling with questions about identity, self-worth, and how to live well in a culture that often prioritizes speed and surface over depth and direction.
If you're searching for:
…this may be the right place to begin.
My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a broader, culturally aware lens—rooted in the belief that healing happens not just by soothing the psyche, but by rebuilding a life that holds together.
Whether you’re in crisis or simply ready for something more meaningful, individual counseling can be the first step toward a more grounded and resilient life.
I’m Steven Lawrence, a licensed counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate complexity, find clarity, and build lives that feel more coherent and resilient.
My approach is warm, structured, and grounded in both evidence-based practice and cultural insight. I work with people who are experiencing anxiety, disconnection, identity confusion, or a quiet sense that something important is missing. Many of my clients are high-functioning and thoughtful; but tired, wrestling with not just emotions, but with meaning, purpose, and how to live well in a disoriented age.
In addition to tools drawn from research-based modalities like the Gottman Method and NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), my work is also shaped by the deeper frameworks of Philip Rieff, Charles Taylor, and Alasdair MacIntyre. These thinkers help illuminate how modern culture often leaves us unmoored-encouraging self-expression without offering moral structure, tradition, or a stable vision of the good. Therapy, in this context, becomes a place not just for relief, but for rebuilding: self-understanding, virtue, and direction.
Whether you're facing emotional strain, major life transitions, or a general sense of fragmentation, I offer a calm and serious space to reflect, reorient, and move forward with greater integrity and strength.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds-creative professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and young adults just trying to find their footing in a shifting world. I adapt my work to fit your values and worldview, and I take the time to understand the particular story you're living-so that you can shape where it’s going next.
Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you-whether that’s uncertainty about your direction, patterns that no longer serve you, or a growing sense that something essential is missing. Our work won’t just focus on symptoms, but on helping you build a more stable inner life, strengthen your ability to endure challenges, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
