Healing is about more than simply reducing symptoms. It’s about developing a deeper connection with yourself, your relationships, and the life you want to live. Steve believes that meaningful healing begins within a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel genuinely understood, accepted, and supported. His goal is to create an environment where people can slow down, listen to what their minds and bodies have been trying to communicate, and experience lasting change.

With more than 20 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Steve works with individuals and couples seeking deeper self-awareness, healthier relationships, and greater emotional well-being. He has a special passion for helping people heal from trauma, navigate relationship challenges, reduce anxiety, and move beyond patterns that keep them feeling disconnected or stuck. People of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds are welcome.

Steve’s primary therapeutic approach is Natural Processing, a somatic approach to EMDR that helps the brain and body naturally process unresolved experiences. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, Natural Processing supports the nervous system’s natural capacity to heal, allowing clients to experience deeper, more lasting change. He integrates this approach with evidence-informed therapies including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) when appropriate. This approach is effective for many of the challenges that bring people to therapy.

Steve believes that therapy is a collaborative process. Every person’s story is unique, and treatment should reflect each individual’s experiences, strengths, and goals. Whether clients are working through the effects of trauma, strengthening relationships, or seeking a greater sense of purpose and connection, he strives to help them develop a deeper understanding of themselves while building the confidence and resilience needed to move forward.

In addition to providing therapy, Steve is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, a Natural Processing Assistant who helps facilitate international Natural Processing trainings for therapists learning this approach, and a clinical supervisor for Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselors. He enjoys helping both seasoned clinicians and new therapists deepen their clinical skills, expand their understanding of trauma and healing, and grow in confidence throughout their professional journey. As the founder of Buchheit Counseling, he is passionate about creating a practice where clients receive compassionate, evidence-informed care and where therapists continue to learn, grow, and support one another.
Steve believes meaningful healing happens when people feel seen, supported, and understood. His hope is that every client leaves therapy with a deeper connection to themselves, healthier relationships, and greater confidence in their ability to navigate whatever life brings.

Not Sure Which Therapist Is Right for You?

Finding the right therapist is an important part of the healing process. If someone isn’t sure who would be the best fit, I’d like them to contact me directly. I can learn a little about what they’re looking for and help match them with the therapist who best fits their needs, preferences, scheduling availability, and insurance.
