About
Hello and welcome. My name is Steven, and I’m a licensed clinician based in New York, working with clients in California, Florida, Nevada, and New York. My approach is grounded in curiosity, respect, and real conversation — not jargon or performance. I work with adults who identify as autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent, as well as those navigating anxiety, grief, creative identity, and relationship changes.I see therapy as a collaborative space, where we make sense of experiences without judgment or pressure to conform. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and thoughts as information — not flaws — helping you build insight, resilience, and self-trust.If you’ve ever felt unseen or misunderstood, my goal is to offer a space that feels human, grounding, and real, where understanding replaces shame and growth happens naturally.
My decision to work with autistic and neurodivergent adults comes from a lifelong understanding of what it feels like to move through the world a little differently — to sense more, think deeply, and sometimes struggle to fit into systems that weren’t built for you. Over the years, I’ve come to see that these differences aren’t deficits; they’re reflections of complexity, creativity, and sensitivity that deserve to be honored, not fixed.I’m drawn to the way neurodivergent minds work — the layered thinking, the humor, the precision, the empathy that often gets overlooked. I aim to create a space where you don’t have to filter or translate yourself to be understood. My approach centers on curiosity, respect, and the belief that self-understanding is far more healing than self-correction. Together, we can work toward a life that feels aligned with who you are, not who you’ve been told to be.
I approach my work from a place of deep respect for each person’s internal world — their patterns, perceptions, and the meaning they make from experience. Rather than beginning with problems or deficits, I focus on uncovering and strengthening what already supports their growth — the instincts, creativity, and resilience that have carried them this far, even when the world misunderstood how they move through it.My role is collaborative: helping clients translate their ways of thinking, sensing, and feeling into strengths that sustain them. I try to offer a space that feels spacious and unhurried, where curiosity replaces judgment and self-awareness grows without pressure to perform.I’m part of a broader community of clinicians who value neurodiversity, authenticity, and lived experience as integral to good therapy. For me, affirming practice means helping clients recognize that the way they process the world isn’t something to fix — it’s something to understand and honor.
