John W. Steele, Ph.DWhat is my personal style as a therapist?
Clients comment on my warmth and empathy. I listen carefully, give nonjudgmental feedback, and offer encouragement to try out new behaviors. I help clients focus on their bodily felt sense as we discuss issues. This takes the work of therapy to a deeper level.

About me:
After completing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Toronto in 1989, I moved to Rochester, NY, opened a psychotherapy practice and served as a clinical supervisor at a mental health center. I became involved in Zen and apprenticed as a yoga teacher. These experiences awakened an interest in integrating meditation and psychotherapy. Through training in focusing and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, I discovered that guiding clients to access their felt sense at a bodily level enables them to work through their issues more effectively.
Since moving to Boulder, I have been offering psychotherapy to individuals and couples and clinical supervision to therapists. In addition I teach psychology at Naropa University and yoga and mindfulness through Boulder Recreation and Iyengar Yoga
Center of Boulder.
