My name is Brittany Steffen, and I am the owner and founder of Steffen Counseling Services. I graduated from Seattle Pacific University’s marriage and family therapy graduate program in 2012, and have worked as a therapist in the Seattle area for the past 10 plus years. In 2018 I began the process to become an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, to meet the expanding demand for sex therapy.
In 2019 I left a group practice to open my own practice, which has since expanded to include interns and full-time therapists. When the pandemic hit in 2020, therapists were inundated with people seeking therapy, and it became even harder to find referrals with openings for new patients. Because I was already providing supervision as a WA State Approved Supervisor, and teaching, it was a natural step to add an internship program to my practice. Clinical interns are current graduate students who provide the essential service of low cost, sliding scale therapy. I started with one intern in 2020, and quickly added three more to meet the demand for services. By the end of 2020, there were five of us, including myself, and counting.
In addition to my work as a supervisor, professor, and certified sex therapist, I enjoy working on a very wide variety of writing and speaking projects including:
My work outside of seeing patients speaks to one of the core values of SCS–education. We provide internship placements for students from from the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific University, Antioch University, Divine Mercy University, the University of the Cumberlands, The Seattle School, and moving forward, Seattle Universtiy.
We have a short questionnaire that will help us match you with the right therapist according to your needs.
