Stephen Benintendi M.A., LPC, SRT, EMDR
Steve is licensed by the state of Missouri as a professional counselor. Steve has a strong desire to walk with people through life's challenges.
Steve is a fully certified EMDR therapist having completed a one year program with EMDRIA.
He also has an advanced certification in sexual recovery from the American Association of Sex Addiction Therapy. This training not only equips Steve to help you with addiction issues but also sex in relationship issues. The goal is to get you to a place of sexual integrity or wholeness.
Steve and his family served as missionaries for 25 years. In 2010 Steve walked through a time of failure and brokenness. Steve and his family were helped by professionals that combined the strength of his spiritual beliefs with the healing value of counseling. Their contribution to his complete healing and restoration inspired him to go back to school.
Steve received a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the Assembly of God Theological Seminary in 2014. Since then, he has seen hundreds of men, women and their families dealing with the pain of failure. As a state licensed counselor, he enjoys seeing people for all kinds of reasons, but he feels it is a special privilege to walk with people struggling with sexual issues. He knows there is hope, he is living proof.
