Steve Shepard is our office manager and the one who returns calls and schedules most of our appointments. He also does our billing and may give you a call when there is a question about payment or your insurance. He is not a therapist but is easy to talk to and a good listener.

“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” Unknown
