This page is dedicated to four district offerings that exist within Steve’s broader professional services as a counselor:
For private pay clients, there are many ways to get help from Steve within the counseling office and outside of it:
Helping specific individuals or groups to have Personalized Access for Clinical Expertise (P.A.C.E.)
Service 1. Clinic start-up, administration, idea development and implementation.
Consultation services for clinic directors, administrators, and professionals looking to branch out on their own.
Steve has 15 years’ worth of experience in private practice establishment, growth, and adaptation in order to serve a community and clinic staff well. Through the trials and errors experienced during that time, wisdom has been gained that can be shared with others who are looking to enter the field of private practice as an Owner or Director.
Service 2. Dedicated training possibilities and on-site support for groups, sports teams, and businesses.
Personal presentations and training services for different populations on customizable topics.
Steve has provided dozens of speaking experiences in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and even Kansas, for non-profits, community groups, churches, and school districts. He has spoken to professionals, teenagers, families, men, women, leaders, and like-minded people who want to bring accessible and practical information to others in practical ways.
Service 3. Expedited access to counseling with Steve for leaders and entrepreneurs who desire services that understand their challenges.
Identification and support for the unique obstacles that highly driven individuals can face as they pursue greater opportunities and responsibilities in life and they do not want to be limited by managed healthcare restrictions that can affect service delivery.
Through almost 25 years of outpatient counseling, networking, word of mouth referrals, and creating two businesses, Steve has gained experience caring for leaders and developers in many areas of business, agriculture, non-profits, professional ministry, education, and athletics. He is able to deliver his services in creative and customizable ways that make support timely and unique.
*Each service within the PACE program has a different length, term, and fee and all occur outside of insurance reimbursement*
For leaders within non-profits, there are ways to get help from Steve as well:
Helping pastors and ministry leaders remain resilient while serving others
Many people who serve in a general leadership role, or at a faith-based organization or non-profit can experience unique challenges that may not be faced in other career positions. Common statements about these pressure-filled expectations can be:
“I must not show that I have problems or people will not follow my lead.”
“I cannot share my thoughts or struggles with other people or they will think less of me.”
“If I share this struggle, then I will violate my commitment or oath to live a good example to others.”
“I must please everyone and cannot have anyone disappointed with the ways I teach or help them.”
“Serving others is most important – I cannot put my own needs as a priority.”
In response to these and other frequent challenges that those in service-oriented positions face and bring into the counseling office, Steve has developed a well-being / assistance program for these leaders, their spouses, and family members. In this “Ministry Support Program” (MSP), leaders can find confidential, affordable, and tailored help that enables them to discover what is leading them to burn out, what is causing them stress, what can be done to get healthy, and/or find ways to stop distress that is negatively affecting their ministry.
*Sometimes the financial cost of services in this program are covered by church denominations, private donors, or other contracted sources. These funding sources allow for services to more easily be obtained by leaders who otherwise might be unable, reluctant, or unsure of whether or not counseling would be helpful*
.
For the integration of physical and mental health services, there is a rare way to get help from Steve:
Integrated Physical and Mental Health Training
A place where members to learn, grow, and reach their goals – both physical and mental.
Accountability will be maintained through in-person morning training times, an online group, and app check-ins with other members and coaches.
Life is easier when you are connected with other people who care about you, who invest in your mental health, and who help you seek your best physical well-being.
If you are without community, Pearl Street is a connecting point for many different ways to pursue healthiness.
*Future developments include fully integrating movement into counseling sessions and mental health into the physical environment via partnerships, workbooks, and collaboration with other service professionals*
For the training of professionals that can serve the community, Steve has developed a comprehensive training model:
Helping a therapist to be Competent, Aware, Service-minded and Effectual (C.A.S.E.)
Steve Johnson has been an Approved Clinical Supervisor since 2013 and has helped 27 individuals gain experience in the field of counseling and psychotherapy. Graduate students, post-graduate students, other licensed professionals, and fellow clinic directors have all helped teach Steve the best ways to ensure counseling is provided in the most client-centered ways.
*Sharing this model with others can occur via teaching, training, and consulting, but most therapists learn from Steve while working with him at his agency*
