Testimonials/Reviews

“My experience in coming to Stephen Shafer for counseling has been nothing short of awesome. I like many people, did not know what to expect when starting counseling and quite frankly I was skeptical. As a combat veteran of OIF and a recently going through a divorce, I thought he would have his work cut out for him. But to my surprise he was able to help me in ways that I couldn’t imagine. Stephen brings such a great combination of education, faith, experience in his field, and amazing life experience to the table when I see him. There was not one instance in my time with him that he couldn’t give me a new perspective on everything that I needed to confront and deal with in my life. He has really helped me, help myself, and I am very thankful that I went to him. He provides a very comfortable and laid back atmosphere and I would highly recommend him to any person, regardless of their background, to Mr. Shafer for counseling. I have learned what an invaluable service he provides and hope anyone going through a hard time in their personal life will reach out and do the same.”

“My family has been seeing Stephen Shafer for 1 and 1/2 months now and have made great gains in communication and gaining knowledge of each others feelings and ideas. Raising adolescents is difficult and to find a therapist the whole family gels with is extremely difficult. Stephen is not all about the money he wants to see you all happy and able to hold on to the most important thing family.”

“I want to say that when I first came to Stephen I was at my wits end we had specific family issues that was no longer acceptable to any of us. We did not get along we were all looking in our own directions. I no longer liked my husband the family was inn turmoil and we all were at the turning point…either we all work to get along or our family would crumble. I walked into his office and was immediately in tears crying my eyes out to someone I had never met before. I wasn’t sure how much it would cost and money was a real issue., Living paycheck to paycheck as many families do. He made immediately comfortable. I think that God sent me to him that day, the next day my daughter went to see him she is 15 and she liked him ( she is very skeptical about people) the next day was my son who is 16 and opinionated but he also like him…. That Friday we all met as a family and he told us that we definitely had a chance as long as we all would agree to work with him and with each other. We are 6 weeks into therapy we all see him individually, I see him with my husband in couples sessions and we do a family session and we are able to scrape the money together to afford him because he works with the people he helps. He is really not in it for the money although he needs to support a family also. We are currently working as a team communicating more effectively and my self and my husband have become more intimate anger front with our children. We have a way to go all personally and as a family but meeting Stephen has helped us in ways no one could have.. He is a bit unconventional and is non intrusive but also is able to get to the heart of the matter. I am grateful God brought us to him. I highly recommend Alph and Omega because it really works.”

“There’s no judgement. It is a wonderful wonderful experience. It is enlightening. It is very helpful.”

“Steve is the best and most down to earth counselor in this area!”

“Recommended!”

“When I was dealing with infidelity in my marriage, Steve offered a comforting place where I could feel free to let go of my anger, hurt and resentment. Steve’s experience, compassion and guidance helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life, and I don’t think I would be happily (re) married with four beautiful children today without his help. He is down to earth, and doesn’t talk at you in a three-piece suit. If you are uncomfortable with the cliché, “lay on a couch looking up at the ceiling and tell me how you’re feeling,” and you want someone who can be raw and really get to the root of your troubles, Steve at Alpha & Omega Counseling is the person to see! I can’t recommend them enough.

I have been seeing Stephen virtually for almost 2 months now. Even during the pandemic he always sees me on time. He’s helped me figure out problems I have never discussed with anyone before, and has helped me return to normal. He’s really kind, well spoken, and always listens. 10/10 would recommend Stephen to anyone looking for help.

I always leave his office feeling better! Steve is easy to talk to, and he always helps me figure something out about myself, or guides me in a new direction to achieving happiness!
