Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hey there. I’m Steve. I’ve been moved by the human experience ever since I was a young lad. My first field was communication not because I was good at it, but because I was really horrible at it. I eventually became a journalist, video producer, photographer, and excelled at it, but something was lacking. I got into teaching at the collegiate level and as well with kids through adults who’ve had difficulty with learning, but yet, I yearned for more. It was there, with kids who were dealing with so much, that I learned what I wanted to do next in working with people. I entered counseling school and about a decade later, here I am. I am much less shy than when I first went to college, and you’ll see that in a session. I don’t enjoy sitting back, I get in there and point things out to you. I work with you how I think I would like to be worked with. Am I human? Yes, and I point that out, but I truly care about you and want you to be where you want to be.
I am underpinned by existentialism, it’s the big things in life that I look to when people have issues. I also regard the human body as possibly part of the issue that is giving you difficulties – for example our diets today are very much affecting our mental health. I love neuroscience and the polyvagal theory approaches and regard our “mind” as something that can also use some healing. I also am a big lover of relationships, and see them as the last cog in the total wellness of you. Look at it as a triangle or wellness – Mind-Body-Relationships. Oh, and I also may have you talk to yourself.
I do best with adults for some reason, but I like all people. I am a family therapist, and see the family as a reason many issues occur. Anyway, I’ll help, but you as well have to want to change. It is something I value deeply as I’ve changed from that shy kid to a confident, more present person, and I want to help you do the same.

Stephen Weaver approaches therapy from a long-standing interest in the human experience that began early in life. He trained and worked in communication fields – including journalism, video production, and photography – and later taught at the collegiate level as well as students of varying ages and learning needs. Those teaching experiences, especially with young people facing significant challenges, guided him toward a career in counseling.
He is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Ohio and Delaware and brings seven years of clinical experience working with adults and families in Indiana. Stephen is direct and engaged in sessions; he tends not to sit back but to actively point out patterns and work with clients the way he would like to be worked with. He identifies as human and present, and he cares about helping people reach the goals they set for themselves.
Stephen’s work is grounded in existential ideas – he focuses on the larger life questions when people struggle – and he integrates an interest in the body’s role in mental health, including how contemporary diets can affect well-being. He draws on neuroscience and polyvagal theory-informed approaches and views wellness as a triangle of mind, body, and relationships. Relationship patterns and family dynamics are central to his practice, and he often works from a family systems perspective.
He primarily works with adults, although he values working with people of all ages, and he offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting challenges, anger management, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes.
Stephen holds a bachelor’s degree in electronic media – mass media – from the University of Akron, a Master of Arts in professional communication from Purdue, and a Master of Science in Education in couple and family counseling from Indiana University (both master’s degrees completed at IPFW).
Many people wonder whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating significant life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is convenience and flexibility. Clients can choose the communication format that fits their needs and schedule – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it simpler to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapy provided online is offered by licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, effective option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
