Steven Sipes, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I’m Steven Sipes, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have experience working with all ages of clientele, who are working through a variety of different life stressors and issues. I’ve always had a passion for helping others work toward their goals.
In my personal life, I strive to be a positive support to others in every interaction I have. Within my professional journey, I’ve found that many people go through life feeling like they are just “surviving” rather than “thriving.” Life can be hard, and there are many barriers that prevent people from enjoying it to the fullest.
My goal as a therapist is to help people reclaim their joy, restore their energy, and reconnect with their passions. My hope is to improve clients’ overall quality of life by walking alongside them in their journey to become the very best version of themselves.
As a therapist, I work with clients through individual therapy, group therapy, and family/marriage therapy. My areas of passion and expertise include:
- Processing trauma
- Building long-lasting motivation to work toward goals
- Managing anxiety
- Improving mastery in skills, abilities, and hobbies
- Improving quality of relationships
- Supporting major life transitions
- Minimizing the effects of depression
- Strengthening thought control
