STEVI L. STEPHENS-MARTIN

I'm a warm & light-hearted therapist with a focus on holistic healing. My clients say I'm the most "human" therapist they've ever had. I have a strong desire to help those who have struggled the most. I am an anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, military friendly, equal opportunity therapist. I welcome those who have been marginalized, oppressed, or demoralized. I have an affinity for helping interracial, LGBTQ, kink & poly relationships; I also enjoy working with individuals who want to explore relationship dynamics and opportunities for personal growth. As your ally, I will be present for you while you process your unique experiences. Together, we'll make sense of things and use what we learn to shape a new narrative. My “attachment-based” approach is integral to fostering caring connections both within the therapeutic alliance and within your own relationships, at home and at work. I lean on emotion focused couples therapy and acceptance & commitment therapy models to help guide my work. We'll focus on physical, mental, emotional, and relational health through developing small new habits, values exploration and interrupting interactional patterns that keep you stuck in toxic cycles. In a previous life, I worked in retirement living, education, and the nonprofit world. I moved to Colorado Springs in 2019 with my spouse, an active duty service member, and our two dogs. I find peace in the outdoors and through my yoga practice. I enjoy traveling, reading fiction, watching movies, and fermenting anything I can put in a jar.
