Steve McCready

Looking for therapy or counseling in the Sacramento area?


Are you unhappy with your relationships? Has the current economic situation added to the strain?
Does your life feel overwhelming or unmanageable?
Have you become so focused on others that you’ve ‘lost yourself’?


I’m Steve McCready, a psychotherapist in Sacramento, and I’d like to help you ...

… learn how to improve your relationships,
… overcome anxiety, stress, and depression,
… feel better and more confident about yourself,

… and become more comfortable handling the challenges life throws at you on a daily basis.

In my therapy practice, I specialize in counseling ...

...couples who are experiencing more conflict than connection in their relationships and want to turn things around.

...men and women who are “too nice” - who don’t get their own needs met because of how much time they spend taking care of others’, who often say “yes” when they want to say “no”, and end up feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or angry.

...successful professionals, especially in the IT field, who are stressed and overwhelmed and are seeking help in getting things back under control.

...but I help people with other concerns, too.

As you explore my site, you’ll learn more about the problems I specialize in, how I work with my clients, and some of the beliefs that influence how I do my work. I’ve also included some videos that I think you’ll find valuable.

In counseling, you’ll learn new tools and life skills

Yes, I’m a good listener - but there’s a lot more to therapy than just talking. In many ways, I’m more like a teacher or coach, helping you to learn and master skills that will help you create the life and relationships that you want. In my office, you’ll find much more than a place to vent - we’ll work together to determine what you need and help you make the necessary changes to find the happiness you’re seeking.  

Located in Sacramento, close and convenient

My counseling office on University Avenue in the Campus Commons neighborhood is easily accessible to most Sacramento communities. I offer morning, mid-day, afternoon, and evening appointments to accommodate the differing needs of my clients, and also can arrange to do therapy sessions via telephone.

It’s time to take care of you!

If you’re ready to get started, call or e-mail me today, and we’ll get a counseling appointment set up for you. If you still have questions that weren’t answered on my site or are unsure about seeking help, let’s talk - I’d be happy to take some time to answer your questions or concerns.
