Golden Light Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
supporting deep psychological and emotional growth. This method helps individuals reconnect with their innate capacity to self-regulate, release stored stress, and restore a sense of safety and vitality in both body and mind. I trained directly through the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute, founded by Dr. Peter Levine, whose pioneering work has profoundly reshaped how we understand the relationship between the nervous system, the body, and emotional well-being.
This isn’t talk therapy alone - it’s an experiential process of learning to listen to the wisdom your body holds. Through cultivating awareness of subtle sensations, impulses, and patterns of tension, we can begin to unravel the ways trauma is stored in the body and open space for resilience and wholeness to emerge. It’s about slowing down, tracking what’s happening inside, and allowing your system to complete what was once overwhelming or unfinished.
In addition to SE, I also offer ketamine-assisted therapy for clients seeking deeper access to their inner healing intelligence. This unique and evidence-based modality can create profound opportunities for insight, emotional release, and transformation - often catalyzing breakthroughs that might otherwise take years in traditional therapy. When combined with an embodied approach like SE, ketamine therapy can support lasting integration, helping clients translate expanded states of awareness into grounded, sustainable change.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Despite being a good listener, I don't see myself as a "talk" therapist. I am interested in how you, your nervous system, and the environment are getting along with each other. We will DO things in our work just as much as talk and reflect. I provide ways to reduce overwhelming emotions that impact effectiveness, break unhelpful reactions/patterns, and enhance internal resources for navigating the world as it is. My personal style is a combination of a little irreverent spice and humor while deeply honoring your concerns and goals.
