About me

I am a professional counselor licensed in Minnesota with over 10 years of experience as a therapist and performance enhancement/sport psychology consultant. I have worked with clients on a broad array of issues, including anxiety, depression, performance related challenges (for example, in sport, job, or school), relationship difficulties, life and career transitions, substance abuse, and parenting struggles.

My therapeutic style is attentive, curious, and patient. That style also includes treating all people with respect and cultural sensitivity. My therapeutic approach is a combination of motivational interviewing, humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapies. I see myself as a guide or coach who uses empirically supported treatments to help clients discover their own answers and solutions based on their lived experiences.

You are the expert on you and I can help guide you through the process of developing the skills you need to live the life you want. You have taken a courageous step toward improving your health and well-being. I would be pleased to take further steps with you along your journey.

I feel that this review is a bit premature, because I am still going to therapy, and most likely need much more. So far though, Dr. is Stefanek has been very insightful, helpful, and is a great listener. I look forward to opening up more with him about more things that have been affecting me and what tools he can give me to overcome my obstacles.
