Specialties: Anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, avoidance, trauma, grief, addiction, identity exploration, self-worth, CBT, ACT, DBT, existential and narrative therapy, mind–body integration, harm reduction.

Steven Stefani, MA, is a dedicated counselor at Chicago Psychology Services who offers a grounded, compassionate space for adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. He works with people navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, avoidance, trauma, grief, addiction, and other challenges that can make daily life feel like too much. 

Steven received a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Steven also has experience working in both Neuropsychology practices and the nonprofit space. This allows Steven to understand how to coordinate care with other treatment providers, advocate for clients, and recognize the importance and power of compassion, human dignity, and meeting people where they are in the healing process. 

Steven’s approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and is guided by existential and narrative perspectives. In therapy, this often looks like gently exploring the stories you’ve been carrying, noticing what no longer fits, and making room for new ways of seeing yourself and your life.

He also integrates techniques informed by evolutionary and biological theory to support the connection between mind and body. Together, you might work on tuning into physical cues, understanding how past experiences show up in present sensations, and using the body’s natural regulatory capacities to find more steadiness and ease.

Steven’s work is rooted in harm reduction and a deep respect for human dignity. He believes healing grows through collaboration, curiosity, and compassion—not perfection or “fixing” yourself. His goal is to offer a space where you can feel understood, honor the resilience you already have, and move toward changes that feel meaningful and sustainable, at a pace that feels right for you.

Steven accepts BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, BCBS Community, Meridian, and Medicaid plans.
