Steve Hammil Counseling

I have been to other therapists throughout different stages of my life and Steve is not your stereotypical therapist. He does not smile and nod blankly leaving you feeling like the last hour was a colossal waste of time as you walk to your car. Steve engages with you and makes every effort to help you get to who/​what/​where you want to be as a person in this world.
Steve has a talent for seeing past all the chaos and emotion surrounding a situation and targeting in on the base issue. I must admit there are times it is a bit unnerving for a control freak like myself, but ultimately I appreciate his gift and I know that it has served me well in situations where I felt stuck and unable to overcome what was troubling me.
Steve was recommended to our family when my then 14 year old was having a rough time in her life. She saw him twice a week and I was involved in those sessions also. As time passed I felt that having a session of my own would benefit my daughter and myself. With Steve’s guidance and insight my daughter overcame a lot of the issues that were effecting her life and eventually stopped her therapy. I found that my sessions helped me be a better mother, wife, sister and friend to all of the people around me. I decided to continue for a while.
I have now been a client of Steve’s on and off for 6 years. That may seem like a long time and you may be thinking to yourself, «WOW, 6 years and she’s still having to see him?». Don’t let the time frame fool you. I have stayed his client because being a mother of 6 presents a lot of challenges and I believe that having an outside, trained professional to sift through my life with and gather perspective enables me to conquer, with a little more grace, all that life throws at me on a daily basis.
I have said it before, diamonds are great, but what a woman really should have in her arsenal is a great therapist and a great masseuse and she can conquer the world. Steve is a great therapist and I am a better wife, mom, sister and friend because of his expertise, insight and gift of healing.

Steve is a colleague of mine. I refer couples or individuals to him for meaningful, practical help. I hear clients complain that counselors just sit and nod their head, often with no results. Steve is not that type of counselor. He is a great balance of challenge and support for effective change.
