Steve Hammil Counseling

Steve Hammil is a dedicated counselor with an MA and LMHC, who specializes in assisting individuals grappling with the lasting impacts of adverse childhood experiences, including abuse, neglect, and loss, particularly from early childhood. Many individuals facing the profound pain of traumatic experiences have yet to feel whole, find peace, or experience true acceptance. It is not uncommon for them to carry the weight of self-blame, leading to frequent bouts of depression and anxiety. In his compassionate approach to therapy, Steve addresses the underlying causes of fear, shame, and grief that fuel these emotional challenges. Through the therapeutic process, clients learn to navigate a life that is meaningful, present-focused, and liberated from the burdens of past trauma. Steve emphasizes the importance of updating the nervous system, the body, and the narratives we tell ourselves. Over time, clients adapt the survival strategies that may have once served them but have since become overreactions to relatively safe situations. Rather than being constrained by the shadows of their past, clients become the authors of their own lives. Steve has a particular focus on Dissociative Identity Disorder. Many individuals enter his practice with a deep fear of this diagnosis, convinced that they are losing their sanity. He reassures them that they are not 'crazy,' and that the presence of multiplicity is not inherently problematic. For those seeking understanding and healing, Steve is committed to providing support and guidance on their therapeutic journey.
