Steven Cope LCSW

Steve cope is a compassionate therapist who provides the environment and modeling for skill in - maturely -handling emotions and - and for my abandoning an unfulfilling fantasy life . He worked with me in reality based therapy. I was his patient, and by individual therapy and participation in his facilitated groups- I came to know the exact work -he showed me- over time- which I needed to do. The goal? satisfying adult relationships, reality based skill development in empathy and self assessment. When I came to therapy I wasn't aware of the fantasy life I had built. Like Junk food it left me deprived of a full social and relationship life. Steve brought me out of it, now I have real friends and a comfort and confidence I am in the drivers seat to build a satisfying life of my choosing. I cant thank him enough. Steve is a force of change in my life - he cant teach satisfaction to adults unless he had grown this in his own life. I want my own financial stability and fulfillment-Therapists like Steve can teach this because they have developed this in their own lives. And yes, he handed me business cards too! I handed them out to friends because I- I wanted to. It was my choice. There was no coercion. I wanted to share this persons work with friends in my life who were in dire need of effective therapy. Should a therapist be financially poor and unsatisfied in their career and income? They cant teach it if they don't have it. more

What a bunch of self-promoting feedback down below!!!! Must be friends because according to him, he didn't have many clients and a main reason why I never went back is he was pushing me to get him other clients from day 1 by shoving cards at me and flat out asking. That is not my job.\r \r He did not help me at ALL. When he found out I had a good job, said I should pay more for his services.\r \r Very full of himself, mocks his clients when they are upset (it's your job to listen and not make fun of them) and will push you out the door immediately when your time is up - will cut you off mid sentence.\r \r His office also looks like a smelly dorm room that has never been cleaned. It's not professional. You would never ever believe you were in the office of a professional and his demeanor matches his decor - ridiculous and out of touch.\r more

Don't wait another day, call him! I've talked to a couple of therapists and put off my counseling for a while because of lack of comfort but called my company's referral service and received handful of names. I checked reviews for all of them and selected Steven. He's great! He is able to sift through all of my ramblings and help focus on the root of things and I've made changes almost instantly. His communication style and presence doesn't give me that weird ''m talking to a therapist' vibe which was important for me. I definitely recommend him! more

Steven came highly recommended from a relative who has been a patient of his for years. It took me a while to come around and finally contact Steven. As the cliche goes, my only regret is not contacting him sooner. Over the past 2.5 years, Steven has helped me navigate anxiety-- from life's everyday stresses to deeply rooted recurring behaviors. His direct and clear approach has affected positive change, and sparked a higher level of self realization. I always look forward to both individual and group sessions. The man has a gift for what he does. more

Steven has been an excellent therapist for me for over 5 years now. He has walked along side me as I have worked through personal challenges and transitions that have involved both my personal and professional life.\r Steven in an attentive listener and always happy to provide the shoulder to cry on, hand to hold or boot to kick your arse as the situation requires.\r I strongly endorse his services. more

I’ve been in therapy with Steve for almost a year now. Not only does his unaffected persona and warmth as an individual serve as a natural catalyst to get into more difficult areas of conversation, his depth of knowledge and ability to find the single sentence that gets to the heart of the matter is remarkable. The amazing thing is that not only is he effective, he’s effective by phone (we live on the West Coast). I didn’t seek him out, my wife was anxious for us to get into couples therapy; thankfully we found our way to his doorstep. I feel fortunate that I’ve not only had the opportunity to continue with him with my wife but, but that I’ve also been able to work with him on my own. more

Steven Cope has made a tremendous impact in my life. Despite an advanced education, professional success and a lifelong interest in self-knowledge, \r I came to Steven Cope because I was not happy, rarely felt settled, and the same mistakes and behaviors were jeopardizing my state of mind and relationships. Steven's approach is radically effective- both practical and philosophical. We quickly charted a course of action and within less than a year of therapy, I've made practical, relational and most importantly \r personal changes that I've longed to make for years.\r more

I came to Steve in great pain after breaking up with my fiance. Through Steve's kindness, expertise, insight, loving nature he guided me from pain to a greater understand and a healthy place. He also counseled my fiance with the same great results. We were then able to come together without past baggage and with open hearts. We've now been very happily married for four and a half years. Steve was our amazing cupid. more

Steve has been a great couples therapist for my husband and me. He really has a sensitive way of showing you situations and things from a different angle and point of view that allows you to really think about your actions (and reactions.) We met with Steve a few times while we were in NYC and now do weekly phone sessions from Arizona. It’s been great! more

It has been a tremndous relief working with Mr. Cope. Over the past 18 months I have developed a rapport with my self I had not thought possible until I was exposed to Steven's compassionate and professional introspection and perspective. His sessions help reinforce the ""normalcy"" a patient deserves to feel so the dirty work of changing undermining behaviors or acceptance of new methods can be addressed. If you are serious about making positive change in your life, you will find Mr. Cope easy to relate to and non judgemental and fair in his advice. more

I have known Steve as a therapist for a number of years both in my individual therapy as well as in a group setting. If you know you are ready to make positive changes in your life, I highly recommend him. His approach is direct and he has a unique ability to help you confront your issues. I know him to be a sincere, genuine and compassionate mentor/ therapist. My life has improved tremendously as a direct result of working with him. more

Having gone through a number of therapists I finally found Steve and it was like striking gold. I enjoyed the sessions; marveled at his ability to get to existing problems. I couldn't wait to participate individually with Steve and again as part of a group. He has a way of making you feel relaxed and wanting to ""open up"" about your life and your experiences. He is a modern renaissance man and I was indeed fortunate to be helped by him. I totally recommend him. more

steven has helped me tremendously in the last couple of years. he has made me realize many things about myself and i am always learning soemthing from each session with him. he is a great therapist and knows how to get you to talk even when you dont want to. he has a wonderful personality and knows how to make his patients feel comfortable. i highly recommend him more

Steven Cope has been a colleague whom I have referred numerous patients to for over 20 years. The reason for this is his skillful practice of psychotherapy, his kind and thoughtful interventions. Steven is a fine psychotherapist.\r \r Anne ""Nancy"" Newhouse, LCSW more

I have worked with Steven Cope for many years and have grown considerably during that time. He is compassionate and practices great empathy but he does not coddle. He challenges me and forces me to examine difficult and painful areas without being cold or detached. His style is reality-based and without knowing him personally I am reassured by the sense that he practices what he preaches. He offers an ideal blend of theory and practical advice, encouragement and discipline. I would not be the person I am today without him. more
