Steve Wille
Welcome! I am Steve Wille, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience specializing in the unique mental health needs of college students, young adults, and teenagers. I am the founder of Ascend Mentoring and Counseling, a practice built to serve as a supportive launchpad for individuals navigating high-pressure transitions, identity development, and the overwhelming weight of expectation.
College and early adulthood are times of incredible growth, but they can also bring intense anxiety, stress, and moments of feeling completely lost. Whether you are a student-athlete struggling with performance anxiety, a young adult trying to define who you want to be, or someone simply trying to find your footing in a new chapter of life, my goal is to help you build real-world resilience.
My therapeutic style is relaxed, warm, adaptive, and collaborative—often utilizing a healthy dose of humor to keep our work grounded and human. I draw from Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to ensure you leave sessions not just feeling heard, but equipped with actionable strategies.
Ascend Mentoring and Counseling is a strictly confidential, identity-affirming, and safe space for all individuals, including LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities. Let's move forward with confidence.
