History

Established in 2010.

Stephen C McGinley, MS, LMHC, has been in the field of mental health, empowering individuals in Pinellas county since 1990. In addition to being a regular guest on the radio program, «Divine Direction for Men,» Stephen has worked with people seeking help with anger, depression, relationships, parenting, anxiety, grief, trauma, and addiction. In Stephens own words: «The initial attraction I had for Psychology was a fascination with people and relationships. I always enjoyed listening to my father converse with other people. That experience was the foundation for listening skills I would hone through training as a Psychotherapist. When I began working with people I felt a great sense of personal fulfillment and purpose. I believe that God has given me certain gifts to be more than a good listener, to be a skilled therapist who can help people attain the growth they so desire.»
