Most of my clients are high-functioning adults who haven't lost everything yet.
Start the Conversation

I'm not here to label you, diagnose you, judge you or fix you. I am an instigator of change. If you could relate to any of what follows, let's talk.

Steve Braun
Steve Braun, CCRC · Vernon, BC

I won't dig through your past. I don't do spiritual 12-step programs or public group meetings. I intervene before things get worse.

Whether you want to cut back, take a break, or stop entirely, there's a path, and I build it around your life, your schedule, your definition of success.

"Life can get difficult and overwhelming, but not every issue requires digging up your past. You want results, not a narrative about how or why things became the way they are."

  • Successful and driven, but can't seem to quit drinking or using
  • Feeling like you're losing control in certain areas of your life
  • Each passing day feels more unmanageable
  • Partner is threatening to leave if you don't make changes
  • Work performance is suffering, stress is rising
  • Nothing really interests you anymore, stopped doing things you used to love
  • Not living up to your potential, or don't even know what it is
  • Not interested in labels, AA meetings, or 30 days in a facility
  • You've tried before and it didn't stick. That's not failure, that's normal.

BUILD A LIFE
YOU DON'T
need to
ESCAPE FROM.

I've seen it too many times. People waiting until they've lost their job, their marriage, their health. The earlier you move, the better the outcome. Always.

About Steve

BEEN THERE.
All of it.

"To change who you are, you need to become who you are."

I am an instigator of change. Guiding people in transforming their lives is my greatest passion. With over a decade of experience in the field of mental health and addiction, I've helped hundreds of individuals at various stages of change and recovery.

I know what it's like to be high-functioning and quietly losing the battle. I spent years there. That experience, and what it took to get out, is the foundation of everything I do with clients.

I'm direct. I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. If you aren't where you want to be, if you're feeling stuck, lacking purpose, direction, or fulfillment, let's talk.

18
Years of personal sobriety. Not a clinician reading from a textbook. Someone who has been exactly where you are, and found a way through.

The Approach

Therapy doesn't have to be stale, sterile, or stiff. My sessions are direct, action-oriented, and yes, actually enjoyable. You'll leave feeling empowered, not analyzed.

Get Started →

As a former firefighter used to helping others, Steve was able to break through my walls and show me how to help myself!

Todd A. · Vernon, BC
Former Firefighter

I was amazed at how quickly I saw results just by changing my mindset and taking action.

Danielle S.
90-Day Program

Steve has helped my quality of life improve tremendously. Through pushing my level of honesty, we broke through personal roadblocks that multiple other counsellors were not able to achieve. He doesn't give me the answers. He helps me find them himself.

Carley · Okanagan, BC
Ongoing Coaching
How It Works

SIMPLE.
No runaround.

01
Email me directly

No booking system. No intake coordinator. You email me and I reply personally, within 24 hours.

02
Free consult

A quick conversation to make sure we're the right fit. No pressure, no pitch. We'll know pretty fast.

03
Recovery Capital Assessment

Session one. I figure out where you're at, what you want, and what's actually in the way. This shapes everything that comes next.

04
We get to work

Determined, massive action. Sessions, homework, accountability, and real-time support for the moments that don't wait. Results from week one.

INVEST IN YOURSELF. SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

There are a lot of things in life you can figure out on your own. Recovery isn't one of them. Let's face it: if you could, you would've done it already. And you wouldn't be here.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Answer 5 quick questions. I review every submission personally and reply within 24 hours. No automated responses, no assistant. Just me.
