Dr. Steven S. Steele has thirty years of counseling experience working with couples, individuals, and families in Los Altos and the San Francisco Bay Area, California. His private practice specializes in couples counseling, affair recovery, premarital counseling, and relationship counseling for executives and high-performing professionals. As a Level 3 trained Gottman Method practitioner and a certified practitioner in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), his work integrates the research-based framework of the Gottman Method with the relational directness of RLT — focused, practical, and built around the specific situation each client brings. He works with couples and individuals navigating communication breakdown, betrayal and trust repair, major life transitions, and the relational pressures of demanding careers. Dr. Steele completed his graduate work at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he earned his doctorate with an emphasis in organizational psychology and attachment theory and a master’s degree from Fuller Theological Seminary with an emphasis in family systems theory. Dr. Steele completed his hospital residency in C.P.E. at USC Arcadia Hospital (formerly A.M.H) and has served as Supervisor of students for Field Education at several graduate schools. Dr. Steele is available for in-person sessions in his Los Altos, California, office, or online for clients living in or beyond the Bay Area, including San Francisco, and internationally. Given the nature of Dr. Steele's executive clientele, he understands the need for confidentiality and a space to explore personal issues with safety and discretion.
