Steve Hammond, LPC

Steve Hammond brings more than 11 years of counseling experience to his private practice in Georgia, combining evidence-based therapeutic methods with a thoughtful, compassionate presence. He listens closely, asks precise questions to clarify patterns, and partners with clients to develop practical strategies for moving forward rather than simply offering ready-made solutions.

He has a particular interest in working with couples facing communication breakdowns or breaches of trust, and he also engages with adolescents to explore motivation and behavior in a respectful, curious way. Steve provides a space for honest conversations about sexual orientation and identity, approaching those topics with sensitivity and a commitment to safety.

Steve practices from an integrated framework that blends well-researched approaches in psychology with his Christian faith. He identifies as nonjudgmental and aims to offer compassion, especially for people who have had painful experiences with religious communities. He is credentialed as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and structures his work around collaborative, client-centered care informed by modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

His clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, parenting and fatherhood topics, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life transitions. Steve strives to help clients clarify values, strengthen communication, and build practical skills to manage day-to-day challenges.
